Customer Reviews

wonderful little book
Guess I'll never get there, but I can 'pretend' with this book! It's great (the entire series is equally good) with beautiful photography. The perfect little book to enjoy.

Elegant Guide to an Elegant Tea
Bruce Richardson and Jane Pettigrew have crafted a slim, elegant volume full of enchanting tea experiences in Paris. From Mariage Freres to Le Palais des Thes, tea lovers will delight in this fabulous book that can easily fit in a small purse or bag.

The photographs are lovely and depict the French "esprit" of tea. Tea in The City/Paris will make you want to visit this European paradise for tea, if only to taste the delights of the charming and palatial tea rooms dotted throughout the world's most lively and glamourous neighborhoods.

While filled with every piece of information you could want on tea in Paris and remarkably well organized by neighborhoood, the book's tone is light, engaging, and great fun to read. If you don't yet have a flight booked to Paris, you will once you read just a few pages of this terrific guide.
