Synopsis

This guide offers a complete history of Paris and the people who have shaped its destiny, from its earliest settlement as the Roman village of "Lutetia Parisiorum" with a few hundred inhabitants, to 20 centuries later when Paris is a city of well over two million, at the centre of a conurbation that exceeds 12 million - nearly one-fifth of the population of France. The book includes sections on Notre-Dame and historic churches, Modernism, Paris parks, bridges, cemeteries, museums and galleries, the Metro and The Environs.
