  • Each entry includes its unique address so readers can pinpoint precisely where they are heading.
  • Each theme ends with a tour spread, dedicated to a specific interest or experience. For example, "An Atypical Arty Afternoon" and "A Night Out Along the Seine."
  • Created keeping in mind readers traveling in a post-Covid world.
