The Coldest Winter: A Stringer in Liberated Europe by Paula Fox, a review from Esquire by Anna Godbersen.
"It would be difficult for a young American traveling abroad now to experience a Europe untouched by tourists, but everything was very different in 1946, of course, when Paula Fox first went to the Louvre and found herself 'nearly alone in the museum except for a drunken elderly custodian.'
