Who amongst us hasn’t dreamt of a glorious day in Paris as pictured in the movies? This audiobook, Dear Paris  book will delight you as it takes you on a journey that will delight tourists from all walks of life. She picturesquely describes Parisian delights in terms of food and locations.

I love Paris, and so of course, the premise of this book appealed to me.  What I was not prepared for was how much this book itself appealed to me.  It is thoroughly charming and delightful, an absolute virtual tour of this beautiful city. The author's love for this city is so evident, and I found myself smiling and nodding with each destination that she mentioned. Yes, author Janice MacLeod knows this city well. However, making this epistolary tour extra special are her illustrations. Now I want to buy this book to set on my coffee table and browse over and over again. I will also keep this book in mind as a potential gift for all of my Francophile friends.

I first want to say, that I am NOT an audio book person. I am visual and like to see things - just hearing them, I have a hard time focusing, and I like to flip pages back and forth. But, I relented on this book because I adore Paris and it sounded interesting. I turned this on while I walked and was instantly transported and could imagine that I was walking the streets of Paris with the author/narrator rather than around my house trying to get my steps in. I LOVED it. I'm not finished with it yet, but I know the rest of the book will be just as enchanting as what I have heard so far. 

Bravo Janice, for finding a way to turn your letters into an income. That is simply amazing and sounds like a dream. I want to buy your book to see the illustrations-  that is the one disappointing thing about the audio book - not being able to see the illustrations! Thank you for transporting me back to a city I've not seen in far too long - hopefully one day in the not too distant future I will be able to see her again!

Delightful!

Fascinating way to describe your time in Paris. The author and narrator, both the same, did a great job in detailing her time in the city of lights. I could close my eyes and imagine myself in each of the described places. Having been in Paris for a long time, it was evident that the locations were described exactly as they are. 

I truly enjoyed this audio book.

This was such a delightful surprise! I had the good fortune to live in Paris a few years and I would do it again in a heartbeat. In a year where even visiting Paris is beyond the realm of possibility, what a wonderful treat this is. Of course I think the best option is to get the book itself in order to enjoy the illustrations on page, but I love that the audio book includes a pdf of the illustrations. Just beautiful!
