The preeminent expat writer on Paris and author of The Most
Beautiful Walk in the World takes you on an unforgettable nocturnal
stroll through five iconic Parisian neighborhoods and his own
memories. John Baxter enchanted readers with his literary tour of
Paris in The Most Beautiful Walk in the World. Now, this expat who
has lived in the City of Light for more than twenty years
introduces you to the city's streets after dark, revealing hidden
treasures and unexpected delights. As he takes you through five of
the city's greatest neighborhoods-Montmartre, Montparnasse, the
Marais, and more-Baxter shares pithy anecdotes about his life in
France, as well as fascinating knowledge he has gleaned from
leading literary tours of the city by dark. With Baxter as your
guide, you will discover the City of Light as never before, walking
in the ghostly footsteps of Marcel Proust, the quintessential night
owl for whom memory was more vivid than reality; Hungarian
photographer Gyula Halasz, known as Brassai, who prowled the
midnight streets, camera in hand, with his friend Henry Miller;
Louis Aragon and Philippe Soupault, who shared the Surrealists'
taste for the city's shadowed, secret world; and Josephine Baker
and other African-American performers who dazzled adventurous
Parisians at late-night jazz clubs. A feast for the mind and the
senses, Five Nights in Paris takes you through the haunts of
Paris's most storied artists and writers to the scenes of its most
infamous crimes in a lively off-the-beaten-path tour not found in
any guidebook.
