Top Ten Tuesday ~ ThrowBack Freebie Eiffel Tower ~ Paris in July

"Top Ten Tuesday" is an original feature/weekly meme created on the blog "The Broke and the Bookish". It was created because they are particularly fond of lists. It is now hosted by Jana from That Artsy Reader Girl.

Since I am just as fond of them as they are, I jump at the chance to share my lists with them! Have a look at their page, there are lots of other bloggers who share their lists here.

This week's topic is a Freebie

There are so many different topics that I missed but sometimes I can't decide which one to take next. This one was easy because it's July and we have "Paris in July" again.
I doubt I will read many books about Paris this month, so I thought I show you a few books with the Eiffel Tower on the cover. Some of them are originally written in another language but I will give you the English link if it is available.
Broerken, Hella "Paris Walks" (GE: Paris-Spaziergänge) - 2013
Clarke, Stephen "A Year in the Merde" - 2004
- "Merde actually" (aka In the Merde for Love) - 2005
Dorling Kindersley "Eyewitness Guide Paris- 2020
Lundberg, Sofia "The Red Address Book" (SW: Den röda adressboken) - 2015
MacLeod, Janice "Paris Letters": A Travel Memoir about Art, Writing, and Finding Love in Paris" - 2014 (on my TBR pile, Goodreads)
Stein, Gertrude "Paris France" - 1940
Wickert, Ulrich "Everything About Paris" (GE: Alles über Paris) - 2004

  1. I spent a week in Paris (on my own!) AGES ago. I *really* liked that city. An amazing place.

    1. I've spent a lot of time in Paris, I have a good friend there and didn't live too far from it when in Brussels. A great city, I totally agree, Kitten.

  2. A few other people picked Paris as a topic this week as well. I think it would be a gorgeous city to visit. :)

    1. It definitely is, Lydia. I've been there lots of times and still love it as the first time. And I guess it's the Paris of July theme that made many bloggers think of this.

    1. That is probably the reason why July is the Paris month in the blogosphere, Lisa. Thanks.

  5. I am still dreaming of my stay in Paris in May, it was so wonderful. I managed to get Clarke's book on French living. It is great.

    1. Oh nice, Lisbeth. Great that you enjoy it so much. And it's been ages since I've been in Paris, probably about ten years. And I'm still dreaming of it. Time to go again.
