A sumptuously illustrated book for travelers who want to find and keep alive the Paris beyond that which can be found in a travel guidebook. "Paris" is the first stop in "The Grand Collection," a major series of elegant travel references to Europe's great capitals, written with an engaging insider's perspective and presented in a lavish format. Each chapter in The Grand Collection's "Paris" covers a theme such as the city's early history; its architectural riches; and of course great art treasures. Each theme is developed in text and in lavish illustrations: discover how the Louvre ch??? teau developed into the glorious art temple it is today; unmask the layers of architecture to identify how Paris, the modern capital, resembles the city that existed during the Revolution of 1789.
