Away from the madding crowds, the gardens of Paris offer the balm of flowers, tall old trees, fountains, ponds, sculptures, with quiet Parisians reading Le Monde, taking the sun, relishing the peace.\nThese places are often tucked away, off the beaten tourist track, and without a guide they're easy to miss: The Jardin de l'Atlantique, out of sight on the roof of Gare Montparnasse. The enchanting Jardin de la Vallée Suisse, invisible from the street, accessible only if you know how to find the path. The Square Boucicaut, its children's carousel hidden inside a grove of oak and maples. Square Batignolles, the shade of the old chestnut trees an inspiration to the painter Édouard Manet and poet Paul Verlaine.\n\nHidden Gardens of Paris features 40 such oases in quartiers both posh and plain, as well as dozens of others \"Nearby\" to the featured green space. It is arranged according to the geographic sections of the city―Île de la Cité, Left Bank, Right Bank, Western Paris, Eastern Paris―a lively and informative guide that focuses on each place as a site of passionate cultural memory.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0312673337\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.0312673337.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Cahill, Susan\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Gently used with minimal wear on the corners and cover.
