Review of 24 Hours Paris, by Marsha Moore

OFTEN when people visit Paris either for a short break or on business they only have a few hours to squeeze it all in.

But what do you do, where do you go and how do you fit everything in before having to head off home again?

That's where the handy guidebook 24 Hours Paris comes in as author Marsha Moore offers up a collection of off the beaten track places to visit in the capital depending upon the time of day.

Using the same idea as her 24 Hours London book, which London mayor Boris Johnson described as a 'nifty guide', Marsha provides advice on things such as taking an early morning dip in La Piscine Joséphine Baker on the banks of the Seine.

Then later in the day Marsha recommends you take a mooch around Rue Mouffetard, with its speciality shops and market, or drop in on the Baccarat Museum to be dazzled by the sparkling glass on display.

Marsha has ensured each hour of the day is bursting with interesting places to discover which are rarely written about in other guide books, and the range of cafés, restaurants, museums and interesting streets to visit means there is something suitable for individual travellers and couples of all ages, as well as families with children.

Each entry offers up a description of what to expect, and the hidden delights that the casual visitor might not see, as well as useful tips on opening times, full address details, metro stops and websites so you can undertake some research in advance.

It's like having a Parisian in your pocket 24/7.
