For the first time, a book celebrates the legend of Paris by exploring its iconic and hidden places alongside the figures who shaped its history. From the glamour of the Belle Époque to the recent Olympic Games, it traces the city’s cultural and social revolutions, from Picasso at the Bateau-Lavoir to existentialism and jazz in Saint-Germain-des-Prés.

Featuring rare photographs and a timeline of key moments, Paris by Paris offers a vivid journey through the city’s past and present.
