The three walking tours described in The Impressionists’ Paris identify
12 precise locations where the artists set up their easels to paint
their Parisian cityscapes, and invite the reader to view the city
of today side by side with the paintings. The book unveils their
beloved Paris, still visible today—if you know where to look.
The entertaining and informative text combines the history of art
with anecdotes about the painters' lives. With 20 full-color reproductions
of the paintings, café listings, maps, vintage postcards
and photos.

“My favorite of the walking guides was The Impressionists’ Paris....as revelatory as the opening of a shutter, a century faded away, Paris revealed its true face, and I comprehended some new truth about the endurance of art...”—Francine Prose, The Atlantic Monthly
“This pocketable book is a small marvel. It is fun to look at and fun to read.”—John Russell, The New York Times
