The spectacular medieval castle where Henry V died, Napoleon’s private château, dancing in fifties guinguette cafés, a Victorian gunpowder factory – these are just some of the unexpected delights discovered by Annabel Simms just half an hour from Paris.

Following the format of her small classic, An Hour from Paris, and written with the same delight in the little-known treasures of the Île de France, the fully revised edition of Half an Hour from Paris now presents twelve new destinations easy to reach from central Paris, each with a carefully planned walk, ample meanderings through the cultural, historical and social milieu, comprehensive practical information and clear, detailed maps.

This revised and updated edition is now in full colour and has two new chapters: Brunoy and Parc Saint Cloud.

Annabel Simms was born in England and now lives and works in Paris.
