T. Axley
“LOVE, LOVE, LOVE—Highly recommend!!! I originally purchased this travel guide for a friend planning a trip to Paris with her young daughters,
-
but after receiving it and looking through it, I quickly realized it’s something people of ALL ages could benefit from — and not just in Paris! In addition to a treasure trove of awesome information about traveling with, and entertaining, young people (i.e., parks, museums, pages to sketch and record adventure notes, games, challenges, and so much more), it is also chock-full of SO many useful details on navigating Paris for people of any age. I'm eagerly awaiting the next installment of Curiocity Travel Guides! ”

“I wish I had this guide 10 years ago when we traveled to Paris with our 3 now grown kids. Melissa’s suggestions on how to navigate the city,
-
the museums, and the culture are terrific. I love that she includes notes on how to handle when things don’t go as planned. Framing traveling as an adventure is good for both kids as well as adults! It’s great to find something for kids to do that doesn’t involve screens. I hope she writes more books for more cities!”

K. Evans
“This book is much more than a travel book. It increased our confidence in experiencing the setting (Paris) and the people rather than seeing
-
the city as a series of historical sites. The cultural norms of Parisians and how we are different in are called out in a child (and adult) friendly way. This helped us navigate culture shock and problem solve with curiosity decreasing disappointment and frustration. The questions truly engaged my daughter in our activities. This novel approach to travel significantly enhanced my trip with my 13-year-old daughter!”

“My daughter just got back from Paris on a middle school trip, and her teacher gave them all copies of Curiocity Travel Guides Paris. The activities
-
activities were a ton of fun and the book was full of interesting facts and suggestions. Their class really enjoyed having the book with them at the Louvre to help them as they toured the museum.”

“These guides are fabulous! They are truly interactive and a great way of sparking communication with young travelers. They are
-
also a great way for families to organize the kinds of things that they want to talk about and remember from their travels.”

C. Foxley
“What a wonderful book! I’m a French teacher and just led a group of middle schoolers on a trip to France. Each student was given their own copy.
-
It's specially written for young travelers who want to explore the City of Light and experience French culture. What sets this book apart is its focus on engaging young explorers by speaking their language so that they become more invested in their experience. Overall, “Paris: A Guide for the Global Adventurer” is a fantastic resource for young travelers who want to experience the magic of Paris and immerse themselves in French culture. The book is well-written, informative, and engaging, and the journal section was a fun and creative way for my kids to document their own adventures. I highly recommend “Paris: A Guide for the Global Adventurer” to anyone planning a trip to France or simply interested in learning more about this fascinating country.”

“What a fabulous and interactive travel guide for those taking their family to Paris! How I wish I had this beauty of a book when I traveled to Paris
-
with my daughter years ago! Melissa Manassee uses humor, engaging planning activities that involve the whole family, and such awesome tips and strategies for getting the very most out of a family trip to Paris! This is a book you must have for your future Paris travel!”
