Book Description
For the armchair traveler and for all those who claim a small part of this magnificent city as their own, this book is a lovely reminder of the splendor, charm, and sophistication that is Paris. When we think of Paris, the images immediately follow?breathtaking palaces, boulevards stretching on forever, the stately flow of the Seine, and the lively bistros and brasseries. In Paris, the magnificent sweep of history is preserved intact, while modern culture flourishes and continues to find a home. All the personalities of this grand capital are captured with great charm and reverence?from the sober and aristocratic in the older quarters to the futuristic and urbane in the squares of La Defense. 500 full-color images bring many neighborhoods of this famous city to life, and the oversized format highlights the timeless beauty of Paris.

 A hefty coffeetable sized book July 28, 2007
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
Six and a half pounds of Paris! This is mainly a book of photographs of Paris. Yes there is some text sprinkled throughout the pages, but I did not even bother with that. :) It contains mostly color photographs. Many are simply beautiful. They span many decades of the history of Paris from the origins of the city to the present day.
It is a great book to gaze at and daydream. :)
 Old Saratoga Books review for PARIS by Guy-Pierre Bennet October 22, 2005
3 out of 4 found this review helpful
A Francophile's delight, this book takes the reader on a journey through time to showcase this intensely romantic and vibrant City. A bit more focus on architecture and less on the Parisian people than I personally would like to see, but still a lushly presented view of Paris.
