New York Times Bestseller, M.J. Rose grew up in New York City
mostly in the labyrinthine galleries of the Metropolitan Museum,
the dark tunnels and lush gardens of Central Park
and reading her mother’s favorite books before she was allowed.
She believes mystery and magic are all around us
but we are too often too busy to notice…
books that exaggerate mystery and magic draw attention to it and remind us to look for it and revel in it.

TOUR QUOTATIONS

The Discerning Reader

DeSanctis possesses a graceful and intimate writing style creating more than a travelogue. This book is knowledge at your fingertips, providing history and personal experiences and overall information piquing your interest further while supplying an armchair education of France and respective locations suggested.
If you’ve never been to France, if you’re planning your first trip or a revisit of this beautiful country you’ll want to read this gem.

The Fictional 100

She succeeds admirably in this aim, conjuring for the reader a delectable wealth of associations for each landmark, or landmark experience, she describes. DeSanctis presents a way of traveling through her 100 Places in France that is comforting, enlightening, and refreshing, and I recommend most highly making the reading journey alongside her.

Words And Peace

Rich with unique advice and achingly beautiful descriptions of France in all its diversity, 100 Places In France Every Woman Should Go is honestly THE companion book you have to purchase for your next trip to France, or to help you dream before you can go.

 Jorie Loves A Story

She brings out the pulse of the people in the modern era as much as the people who shaped the France who emerged out of history itself. She gives honest recommendations on where she found a surge of inspiration from where her own feet took her and yet, she opened the door for us to either re-explore these locations for ourselves or use them as a gateway for our own self-discovery of France.

Readerbuzz

It’s much more than a Best of book; I felt while I was reading it like DeSanctis herself was sitting in the room with me, telling me stories about places she had ventured to in France, sharing secrets she was afraid to tell too many people.

An Accidental Blog

This is the kind of book that should be savored slowly, enjoying each chapter as an individual visit, like one delicate piece from a whole box of French chocolates.
If you’re ready for a journey to France for real, or just on the page, go ahead and pick up this book and to accompany Marcia De Sanctis. She’ll help you find some amazing places.

I’d Rather Be At The Beach

This book is a must have for anyone planning on visiting France. It read like the author is talking to you in person, which makes it so easy to follow. Since I’ve always wanted to tour France, this book is one I’ll keep, and read random chapters from time to time.

Chocolate And Croissants

As someone who has visited Paris and various other areas of France, De Sanctis offers some great ideas for making your visit to France a memorable trip.  Told through a collection of travel essays there is something for everyone.  DeSanctis will have you imagining that you are enjoying a lovely croissant as you read through her travel essays.

Library Educated

I liked that the chapters were nice and bite-sized which meant for a fast read. Every time I finished the chapter I’d be like “yep, that sounds good. Let’s go to France and do that”. Everything sounded fun or exciting or interesting

Griperang’s Bookmarks

The way the author wrote this book makes it easy to read. Another thing that I liked was the way that Marcia made you feel as if you were already in France with her.
