Preferred The Book Version But Still Worth Buying
I bought the book a few years previously which I liked so much and treasured so naturally I was tempted by the DVD but somehow it just did not reach the same heights for me maybe it couldn't but still plenty to interest people who like Paris.

Informative and visually stunning
I'm lucky enough to have a small place in Paris and go there several times a year, and reckon over the years I've learnt a fair bit about the city. But I discovered stuff I didn't know from this video. The presenter is young and enthusiastic. Great fun.

do not buy this DVD .
This was a very disappointing DVD ,the content was miserable at best,places that might have been of interest were skimmed over,almost as if she was trying to keep all the best places to herself!!!!!! 3/10

A Parisienne's eye view
Great stories of Paris including many less touristy areas. Gave me some good ideas for places to visit and Sandrine Voillet makes it all sound fascinating- great little series for Paris lovers.

A great introduction to France's capital city
A great introduction to Paris. Well worth viewing if you would like to know more about this incredible city. Sandrine Voillet is an excellent presenter and is able to bring her deep knowledge and love for Paris to the fore.

Sandrine Voillet lived in London for sometime so her English is perfect. A really good buy
A three part documentary originally shown on the Open University. The delightful presenter Sandrine Voillet takes us on a tour of the French capital with an historical twist. Sandrine Voillet lived in London for sometime so her English is perfect. A really good buy.
