Good Paris Self-guided Walking Tour Book?
We will be returning to Paris this September and I am wondering if anyone can recommend a good book for self-guided walks. We have been to Paris several times and I am looking forward to discovering some of the neighborhoods and places we have not yet visited.
Thank you!
Thank you!

Check out the Lonely Planet 'Discover' series. It's a much more pared down format than their usual tomes but has self guided walks as one of the main features. I am a big fan of this range and think LP have hit the jackpot with the layout and formula used in the 'Discover' series.

That "deck of cards" is, I think, "City Walks: Paris 50 Adventures on Foot" published by Chronicle Books. So convenient, as you only need to carry the card for the walk you are on. Also like one mentioned above "Walking Paris" by Gilles Desmons. And, for out-of-the-way places, "Quiet Corners of Paris" by Jean-Christophe Napias, conveniently grouped by Arrondissement. Enjoy your walks!
