Synopsis

Add your own special artistry to romantic Paris with this gorgeous coloring book that features twenty stunning landscapes, from the awe-inspiring view of the city from the Rue Piat terrace in Belleville to the lavish and elaborate exterior of the Palais Garnier, Paris' famed Opera House.

Illustrator Hennie Haworth captures the vibrancy, atmospheric flavor, and indelible beauty of the City of Light in this delightful collection of color-in cityscapes. Color Paris features classic landmarks like the Eiffel Tower as well as charming and unexpected locations that are the heart of Paris, such as the busy lunchtime at Brasserie Lipp and the modern, spiky silhouette of the newly opened Philharmonie de Paris.

As charming as a retro postcard, each of Haworth's black-and white line drawings authentically depicts a quintessentially Parisian scene down to the tiniest quirky detail. The images can be filled in using any medium--pencil, marker, paint, or crayon--and each is printed on heavy card stock with perforated edges that allow you to easily remove the page to color and display.

From The Panthéon and the Jardins des Tuileries to Notre Dame and Ile de la Cité, seen from the Seine; Montmartre and Sacré-Coeur to the Place de la Concorde; the Arc de Triomphe and The Louvre to the modern Centre Georges Pompidou, Color Paris lets you experience the City of Light in your own unique way.
