This is a lovely guide to Paris for book-lovers, which you should read before you go. Emily Cope provides a list of some of the best books set in Paris, such as
The Elegance of the Hedgehog and
The Paris Wife. She doesn't leave out books which give a grim view of Paris, though. However, I didn't see any 19th century classics on the list, such as
A Tale of Two Cities or even
Phantom of the Opera! There are several Victorian and Edwardian classics set in Paris, so this was a pity.
Emily Cope also includes a list of the famous bookshops to visit in Paris, and even suggests hotels for book-lovers. She has attractive photos of Paris settings to go with each entry, however, these were in black-and-white on my Kindle.
I received this free ebook from NetGalley in return for an honest review.
