This book was fabulous while I was in Paris this past summer. I had a great time doing the walks and learned tons about the different neighborhoods in the city. The walks take you along great little secret passage ways and helped me to find some really amazing shots that I would not have found otherwise. It's a local's guide to gay Paris!

I wish there was a book like this book for every city! I did a couple of the walks in Paris in 2005 and had a lot of fun. I'd like to go back and do more of the walks.
