Paris is a city that has been at the heart of much of Europe's history - from the Middle Ages to the outbreak of revolution, the empire of Napoleon and the ravages of world war in the twentieth century. Despite all this, it has retained a uniqueness, a certain "je ne sais quoi" that makes the City of Light a magnet for visitors from all over the world.
Acknowledging the writers, artists and musicians who have called Paris home, as well as the architecture that has contributed so much to its fascinating history, Paris: The Story of a Great City is unique in containing twenty facsimile documents from the city's archives that highlight key moments from the its magnificent history. Photographs of the floods of Paris in 1910; a poster designed by Toulouse-Lautrec for the famous Moulin Rouge; a menu from the Café de Paris; a playbill from the Comédie Française and the signed surrender of the German commander-in-chief at the end of the Second World War evoke both momentous occasions and the colourful way of life for which Paris is renowned.
Beautifully illustrated with many images from the museums of Paris, this delightful book is a special memento of this fascinating city.
