Product Description
From the PublisherStrolling about Paris has its own feel - walking down the centuries, through the history of France, from a princely residence to a fresh vegetable market, from a legendary bistrot to an iron tower. In a light-drenched city sparkling like a spring, we are invited to partake of the joy of life, as the Seine, in watercolor delight, conveys our memories and nourishes our dreams. Be it minuet or java, Paris dances and twirls on the same shapely leg, and its millennial visions care little for the succession of regimes and the conflicts of generations. This universal city seems tailored for personal discoveries and, as such, is both backdrop and protagonist to our lives. It converts the aimless wanderer into a wayfarer among the stars, and from its splendor burgeons our inner, exotic weave. Whether innocently whispering or resounding like a brass band, Paris turns strolling into a consummate art. ... Read more

Great Photos....and why not?
Paris is photogenic to a fault, it would indeed be an inept photographer who could not fill a book with great photos of this fabulous city. This is another in a long line of books about 'the city of light.'

The prose in this book seems a bit overly lyrical, too many allusions to cats playing in the streets, etc....but the photos are excellent.

I suppose that the writer was trying to capture the feel of the city....however the only way for a reader who has not been there to capture the 'feel' is to go there.

Paris is like sex, you can view the pictures....but to experience it, you really need to be there.
