Paris. Portrait of a City

Truly beautiful photographs telling the story of Paris from the first days of the camera. Full of insights into the social history of the Parisians as well as fantastic insights into the evolution of the city we know today eg the stages of building the Eiffel Tower. It made a brilliant present for someone who has only just fallen in love with Paris and wants to get to know it better.

What a wonderful book - magic on every page, a real treasurehouse of Paris history. Each picture tells a moving story.

A Joy to read and to look at the great photos of this wonderful city.

This book is a fine illustrated and written coverage of Paris from 1800 to the present days. I enjoyed it a lot.

Stunning coffee table book well worth the price

The book has got excellent pictures which I like & also the pull out regarding how the Eiffell Tower was constructed

My son loved this book which I purchased as a Christmas present.

Stunning book
