Every year the Louis Vuitton

City Guide to Paris explores

every facet of this elegant

capital through some

600 addresses, selected with

flair and discernment. Entirely

updated, the 2012 edition

studies each trend shaking

up the city, but also throws

light on forgotten gems.

Five-star hotels, local

diners, restaurants with

young chefs or superb pastry

cooks, fashion, contemporary

art, interior design, book

or chocolate stores, artists'

homes, and hidden museums

are uncovered or reappraised

with an iconoclastic eye.

Equipped with easy-to-use

maps, the guide unlocks the

city's secrets for discerning

travelers and seasoned

insiders alike.
