"Paris is still this monstrous miracle, this collection of movements, machines and thoughts that arouse nothing but amazement, the city of a hundred thousand novels, the head of the world". Balzac's observation is as valid today as it was then. The city has been praised in song, provided atmospheric backdrop for countless films and novels, served as the centre for the French chanson style, and is for many still the "City of Love". Indeed, it is often love at the first sight, sitting over a cafe creme or pastis in a street cafe in the lively Quartier Latin, admiring the panorama from Sacre-Coeur, enjoying a romantic cruise along the Seine, taking a relaxing stroll in the Jardin de Luxembourg, or just standing in front of one of the important works of art. In a museum - virtually no one can resist the charm of this metropolis.

The Paris Book invites you to embark on a fascinating journey through this glorious city and reveals its endless variety in brilliant color photos and informative texts. Foldout panorama photos provide spectacular views of the metropolis, which, as a center of culture, intellectualism and savoir-vivre, has long attracted artists, scholars, adventurers and anyone with a thirst for life. Page after page you will be shown a new perspective on the highlights of the city Hemingway described as "a moveable feast".
