Sunday Times Travel Quiz - Q3

[Zenigma]

I think I have them all apart from Q3. People have suggested Dickens and Paris but I can't see why. The quote doesn't generate a response in any of the search engines I've used. Anyone have an answer and the rationale please?

'It was the best of times; it was the worst of times.' These are the opening words of Charles Dickens' A Tale of Two Cities

The two cities were London and Paris, so the answer has to be one of those. Just which one though, I have not yet tracked down.

Try searching via Google books :-)

Compintone - excellent suggestion. I've found the answer and discovered a new feature of Google that I haven't used before - many thanks!
