Simply the “best” book ever compiled on Paris.


The digital rendition of the printed book. Volume 1 of 3. All text is included and all but approximately 20 photographs. Due to size constraints imposed by e-reader manufacturers, the book has been split into three volumes.


Non Digital book description:

Extensive coverage of all the things to see in Paris. Over 324 chapters with pictures and information. All coverage (except for a few chateaux) is within the Peripherique which means all are walkable from central Paris and/or can be reached via a short ride on the metro/bus.


Spectacular narrative. Areas are covered factually and historically. Architectural descriptions are given. Anecdotes are offered; e.g.:

The headless statue behind La Madeleine.
Saving the stained glass windows of Saint Chapelle.
How did Lapin Agile get its name?



Ideal for the person curious or interested in Paris; for the student; for the tourist; for the teacher; for the connoisseur of good books. A great gift for that special someone which carries the hint of a future fantasy journey.


Incredibly and reasonably priced. It took over two years to create this book along with the quality production of Art Bookbindery of Canada. We know of no other item of this scope and depth that can be a family heirloom for this price.
