Paris to the Past – Ina Caro

Posted on | May 21, 2013 | No Comments

What a wonderful writer and what a great approach to traveling a country I love. Ina Caro has written not just a directory of the best sites in France, but an architectural, historical, and social milieu portrait of seven hundred years of wars, family conflict, and socio-economic changes. Her style is gossipy but well-informd and her suggestions include train schedules, best restaurants, and best views with a sincere acknowledgment of what she (and I) like and dislike. In the future I will use her books as my travel guide. Ina Caro uses the passage of time to showcase the various cities and their cathedrals and chateau to educate us on the battles between countries, religions, and royal families that shaped France from a patchwork of kingdoms, then a unified sovereign nation into a Republic. I was truly sorry that the book ends. I recommend looking at the sites online as each chapter unfolds with vivid descriptions of the change in architectural styles, views, and additions to the beautiful world famous structures. I have been to about half of her subjects and she gives the best tour I've ever had. Shawn Nichols shawnnichols.com Ina Caro on Paris to the Past
