Fodor’s Online Da Vinci Tour
April 5th, 2006
Fodor’s has a basic tour plan posted on their web site which walks through the story as it unfolds at various Paris landmarks:
The book opens at that pinnacle of poshness, the Ritz Paris (15 place Vendôme, Louvre/Tuileries, Paris, France. Métro: Opéra). Professor Robert Langdon is awoken by a late-night surprise visit. Lieutenant police inspector Bezu Fache, from the French equivalent of the FBI, tells him that the man with whom Langdon was supposed to meet earlier that day, Jacques Saunière, has been murdered.

What a cool idea. Fodor’s, that venerable travel publisher, has released a guide for following the trail of The Da Vinci Code through in real life. Definitely seems worth checking out.

The Da Vinci Code has finally been released in paperback in preparation for the upcoming movie release.
The Seattle Post-Intelligencer writes:
Dan Brown’s chart-topper will be available in a mass-market edition ($7.99) as well as a trade paperback ($14.95).
The Da Vinci Code is the most popular adult fiction hardcover in history, with more than 40 million copies sold. It spent 151 weeks on The New York Times’ list, with 54 of those weeks in the top spot. And the much-awaited film version, starring Tom Hanks, is set to premiere on May 19th.
The film debuts at the Cannes Film Festival and apparently some Australian fans are already purchasing tickets for the film.
