Paris, by custom and design, is a pedestrian's city - each block a revelation, every neighbourhood a new feast for the senses, a place rich with history and romance at every turn. The Most Beautiful Walk in the World is your guide par excellence to the true, off-the-beaten-track heart of the City of Lights.

Reviews
The Most Beautiful Walk in the World is as close as a reader can get to the feel of a languid spring walk along Baron Haussmann's boulevards. * Los Angeles Times *
Anyone who loves Paris and loves to walk will feel this book was written just for them... Charming. * USA Today *
A splendid memoir... Reading The Most Beautiful Walk in the World is the next best thing to a Paris vacation. * Boston Globe *
Fabulous - the perfect companion for anyone inspired to hop over to France after seeing Midnight in Paris * NPR.org *
Westminster's boys and girls were no angels,' as John Rae puts it, 'but they were always good company.' As we follow his campaign to turn a single-sex establishment with a reputation for arrogance, slackness and drug-taking into the best school in the country, the same holds true of the author. * The Telegraph *
