Paris: A Journey Through Time

For anyone who has visited Paris, read about it or studied it, this is the book for you! Photos of streets and buildings that disappeared during Haussmann's renovation of the old sections of Paris and current ones to show what it looks like now. Text that explains what was there and how the changes were made and why. Maps that overlay the newer street(s) over the old to show what was lost and markings on the photos to indicate what was lost and what is still left. Not only a wonderful guide for those visiting Paris, but a great armchair guide to those who just want to visit a Paris lost to "progess".

A fascinating book on my favorite city in the world. Leonard Pitt takes you on a magical journey through the City of Light and makes you want to go back again and again.

It was a gift for my son and he loves it. It was a Birthday gift. which he requested I buy.
