Leonard Pitt, author of the bestselling Walks Through Lost Paris and founder of the Berkeley Chocolate Club offers Paris Walks whenever he
is in the City of Light. Leonard Pitt will be returning to Paris in Fall 2008 for the launch of his new book and to continue research on his third Paris book. While there he'll be leading more great walking tours. If you'd like to be on the email list, drop a word and let him know. To find out more about each tour, click one of the links to the left. All walks last between 2 and 3 hours and begin at 10 am rain or shine. For information and cost, contact Leonard at leonardp@sbcglobal.net Jana Jagoe took one of Leonard's walks and writes: "If you want to truly understand the impact that Napoleon and Haussmann had on Paris the best guide is Leonard Pitt. He not only knows his subject matter but has the actor's ability that allows you to see the past and the characters who filled it. I've lived half the year in Paris for five years and have taken dozens of tours. None compares to Leonard's. All of the pieces are there. If you have the opportunity, don't miss this one." |

 Leonard's unique perspective offers a view of Paris in all its beauty and drama that is not available anywhere else. Diane Johnson speaks of his book with praise in her latest book, Into a Paris Quartier , and the French press came out with numerous glowing reviews when his book appeared in 2002: "This American friend knows Paris like the back of his hand and illustrates clearly what the serious stroller would have a hard time deciphering on his own - the history that runs beneath today's buildings." - Le Nouvel Observateur - "Leonard is completely legitimate, he's impregnated with Paris. He sees things that we don't see." - Le Figaro - |
