Metro Stop Paris

the long version

In Metro Stop Paris, Gregor Dallas recounts a series of extraordinary but true tales about the city as he leads his readers around the metro. The book includes visits to Paris's catacombs at "Hell's Gate," the literary cafés and old jazz-cellars of Montparnasse and Saint-Germain-des-Prés and the seventeenth alleys of the Marais, along with trips to the Palais-Royal at the time of the Revolution and the world of the opera during Claude Debussy's lifetime.
