TAKE a chance at winning a copy of Marsha Moore’s 24 Hours Paris, a guide to the hidden corners and delights of the French capital.
Marsha has kindly offered two copies of the book as prizes so readers of This French Life have a chance of winning one in an ever so easy to enter competition.
No matter the time, 24 Hours Paris (Prospera Publishing, £9.99) gives readers the best of Paris, beyond the Eiffel Tower. Arranged hour by hour, from 5am to midnight and back again, the guide showcases Paris’ amazing variety of activities in a user-friendly format.
The easily digestible listings allow readers to duck in and out whenever they have a spare hour or two.
From weaving tapestries to sketching burlesque models – or just kicking back and relaxing with some jazz in an underground torture chamber – readers can see the top tips for what's happening city-wide at any moment in time.
24 Hours Paris is the second book in the 24 Hours series after 24 Hours London, said by London Mayor Boris Johnson to be ‘a nifty guide for Londoners and tourists alike’.
To enter please leave a message in the comment form below, for example 'please enter me into the competition', but make sure your email address is correct, and just one entry per email address.
Two messages will be picked at random each winning a copy of the book. Closing date for the competition is Friday, May 28, 2010 at 1pm Paris time.
THE COMPETITION HAS NOW CLOSED
I haven't been to Paris for years but I hope to go soon as my 6yr old son want to see the Eiffel Tower! @soggykipper

This would be great as there always seems to be horrible gaps between trains or 'planes arriving and trains or 'planes departing which could be fun filled instead of producing physical indigestion from eating something bought on the station and mental indigestion from reading a newspaper.

That is a very clever idea. Will be easy to use and helpful to anyone who wants to fall in love with Paris.

Paris always takes me at least a week. I'd be fascinated to find out how it can be done in a day!

Having worked there in 1975 and been invited back to the Lido by a couple of the dancers in the early hours of the morning for the last show, I would love to know the places now to visit for an old, but young in heart and mind, 55 year old!!

My Husband took me to Paris when we first fell in love many years ago. He took me there again to celebrate 30 years of marriage & now I would like to surprise him, by taking him somewhere SPECIAL in Paris to celebrate his 60th birthday.

This sounds like a terrific guide for someone who's read about Paris but never actually been there. I would love to win a copy.

I would love to win this book, I love Paris, been 3 times in the last year, and the first time was only in April 2009. Now have lots of friends there who I visit.
I know quite a few areas but it would be great to find more :-)

24 hours is never enough time in Paris - 24 weeks, now that's a different proposition!
Posted by: mike streeter | 21 May 2010 at 15:04
I have a copy of the London edition of this book and it is absolutely brilliant, packed with ideas for interesting and unusual things I'd never have thought of doing. I'd love to have a copy of the Paris one too, so that next time I visit the city I can really explore it properly whatever the time of day or night.
