Paris Tours In 1996

This list of articles is an extraction from Metropole's 1996 contents index, containing many tours that you can take. Some of the other articles are about exhibitions and salons. The links are shortcuts that will take you directly to the article. Credit and thanks for the idea go to Gary Jackson, who was right in thinking that Metropole's regular 'past issues' indexes are a bit obscure.
