An original mid-20th-century pocket travel guide titled "What you want to know about Paris and Surroundings," published in France by Éditions Greff. This small, practical softcover guidebook features a light green paper cover illustrated with stylized sepia-tone depictions of major Parisian landmarks, including the Sacré-Cœur, the Eiffel Tower, and the Arc de Triomphe. Designed for tourists and travelers, the guide includes historical and logistical information for exploring Paris alongside surrounding historic locales such as Versailles, Trianon, Malmaison, Fontainebleau, Saint-Denis, Vincennes, and Saint-Germain. It retains its large, fold-out pictorial street and monument maps, detailed with color-coded layouts of the city's arrondissements and prominent landmarks. The piece shows authentic vintage wear, including toning, minor edge tears, and handling creases consistent with historical travel use.
