Synopsis:

This lavishly-illustrated book presents 500 color images of today's Paris, taking the reader on a journey through space and time, from the 1st to the 20th arrondissement, from a bright summer day to the dazzling lights of Paris by night. This collection of photographs gives the reader a picture-perfect view of Paris from every perspective. The reader is taken through every corner of the 'old' Paris, from the bouquinistes on the quays of the Seine, with their rows of treasured books, to the stairs of the Butte Montmartre, crowded with street performers and their audiences; from the cobblestones of Faubourg St-Antoine to the feast-for-the-eyes markets of the Place d'Aligre and Rue Mouffetard, to the antiquated signs of the Marais, and the magically preserved passage Jouffroy. Paris in 500 Photos also explores the vibrant side of modern Paris, from the cafe-sipping literati at the Fleche d'Or, to the contemporary architecture of La Defense. Finally, no journey through Paris would be complete without a trip through Paris by night, from the dazzling Christmas lights on the Champs Elysees to the shimmering gilded dome of the Church of Les Invalides.

- A full view of modern Paris, from the 1st to the 20th arrondissement - Beautifully illustrated with 500 color images
