Fun ideas for day trips from Paris
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
Thanks to this book, I had a wonderful experience at Auvers-sur-Oise ("cradle of impressionism"). It showed me where to go and how to get there. Unfortunately, the train trip took much longer than the 1 1/2 hours mentioned in the book. The connection at Pontoise alone was at least an 1 1/2 hour wait because of delays. Then a transfer on a bus was necessary. However, this was no fault of the authors and the book's walking tour was excellent. Great book if you want to explore!
