Paris In a Basket. This book is a little large to take on a trip but is a gorgeous work focusing on the abundance of the marche volants, covered markets, and permanent market streets across Paris. This beautifully photographed book includes excellent market recipes, addresses, and schedules for all the markets. |

| |
|
Clothilde's Edible Adventures in Paris: By Clothilde Dusolier. This is a terrific book for foodies that includes many of the 'bonnes addresses' that I also use when I craft custom itineraries (of course we have other great places to suggest too) but this book is too good not to share. |
