A girl and her grandfather take a walk through Paris to see the popular landmarks and enjoy the culture. Beautiful illustrations with tons of detail. Includes facts about Paris within the pages.Also includes an index so the reader can look up specific places and landmarks. This would be a good book to have in a geography lesson, or French class or when beginning a book set in Paris.
