PARIS, PARIS Journey into the City of Light

Enamored with his adopted city of Paris, American expat Downie takes a keen interest in the daily life of its everyday people, the curious sights of its the various arrondissements, and its rich history. Narrator Max Winter brings the listener along on Downie's strolls through the streets and voices his musings on the City of Light. Winter sounds as relaxed as a leisurely stroll along the Seine as he guides listeners through this collection of essays. He communicates the author's intellectualism and affinity for Paris, though the author also recognizes some of the city's quirks and shortfalls. Downie unveils some interesting and little-known facts about sights both on the tourist itinerary and farther afield. S.E.G. © AudioFile 2014, Portland, Maine [Published: FEBRUARY 2014]
