This is a beautiful coffee table book, but also so much more than that! Those who love Paris will read it from cover to cover, as it really "captures" the city we love.

This may prove to be a wonderful volume for armchair travel. It looks to have photography, illustrations and art work on each page.

לכאורה סתם ספר תמונות מרהיב, אבל בין התמונות יש הרבה מה לקרוא. סיור של הרוח בפריז. כל בית, כל אבל מזכירים לרסל משהו חשוב/חכם/יפה ורצוי מן המאה ה-17 שחי שם. סובל קצת מחוסר מיקוד.
