  Completely revised and updated for 2007, Let's Go Paris is researched and compiled entirely by students who know first-hand how to see the world on the cheap, this guide has insider tips and information for the socially conscious traveller and is more useful and opinionated than ever.

  Many of Paris's iconic monuments were first received with controversy-the Eiffel Tower, the Louvre Pyramid, and the Centre Pompidou have all been denounced as insults to the traditional architecture of the Parisian landscape and yet it is this breaking with tradition that has become an essential characteristic of Paris's identity. Liberte, Egalite, and Fraternite have been transformed from incendiary tenets of the Revolution into the bedrock of the French nation. Paris integrates the new into the fabric of the old with singular beauty, devoting equal reverence and energy to the two. From Notre Dame's gargoyles to the futuristic motions of the Parc de la Villette and from the masterpieces of the Louvre to the installations of avant-garde galleries, Paris is everything that one expects and at the same time a constant surprise; a living monument to the past and a city full of the life of the present.
