In 173 images and a similar number of poems, the author celebrates 17 days in Paris. The featured trip is internal as much as external, a celebration as well as a contemplation.

The compilation offers an open invitation to travel differently, at home and abroad, by moving and sometimes by standing still. Cultural encounter is a favorite focus with the self-to-self encounter coming into frequent view.

The book is dedicated to the explorer in all of us and to two marvelous human universals: natural curiosity and open hearts.
