Dear Fellow Traveler,

Are you thinking about a trip to Paris in the New Year? Are you only dreaming of someday traveling to the City of Light? Or are you simply curious to learn why the city sparks the imagination of travelers the world over? Whatever your answers to these questions, our book Paris Insights – An Anthology will help you gain insight into this fascinating city.

Called “a true insider's guide” by Peter Greenberg, Travel Editor for NBC's Today show, Paris Insights – An Anthology contains thirty-three articles that focus on Paris' literary lore, customs, art and culture, architecture, nightlife, cafés and restaurants. Readers will gain the benefit of the author's sixteen years of experience living in one of the most desirable travel destinations on the planet.

Two of the articles are about the celebration of Christmas in Paris. In “A Very Merry Paris Christmas”, learn about the origin of the custom of gift-giving and how the fir tree became the ultimate symbol of Christmas. In “Wine Pairing for Your Christmas Feast”, learn about the sumptuous table that the French prepare on Christmas day and the wines that accompany it. These articles will warm your heart for the holiday season!

Our gift to you
As a bonus for purchasing Paris Insights – An Anthology, I will send you an e-document containing 10 Discover Paris! restaurant reviews. Each month, we evaluate a different Parisian restaurant and interview its chef and owner. We publish the review in our Paris Insights newsletter under the title “Le Bon Goût”. I believe that you will find the document to be the perfect complement to the Dining in Paris article that appears on page 95 of the “Tasty Treats” chapter of Paris Insights – An Anthology. Discover Paris! normally provides "Le Bon Goût" as a monthly feature of our subscription newsletter (a $30 value). But as a sign of appreciation of your confidence in Paris Insights – An Anthology, I am offering you 10 restaurant reviews at no charge. All you need to do is forward the message that you receive as confirmation of your order to me at

within 24 hours of your purchase. I will then send you a complimentary .pdf file of “Le Bon Goût” for your consultation and enjoyment.
