    Jayne R. Boisvert

    An associate professor of French and Comparative Literature, Jayne R. Boisvert has visited many different areas of France and the Francophone world over the years. Her easy-to-use guide devoted to Paris, Pilgrimage to Paris: The Cheapo Snob’s Guide to the City and the Americans Who Lived There, includes travel tips, main attractions, free (and nearly free) things to do, shopping, museums, churches, cafes, and restaurants.
