One in the Flying High series |
Ah, Paris! Poets rhapsodize about it, painters have
immortalized it, and millions of travelers flock to it
every year. The sight of the soaring silhouette of the
Eiffel Tower never ceases to thrill, and the gothic splendor
of Notre Dame never fails to inspire. This superb book
takes readers on a memorable tour above Paris, paying
homage to the rich cultural legacy of one of the world’s
most fascinating cities. More than 500 vibrant photographs
take readers on a whirlwind tour above the Latin Quarter,
the grand boulevards, and along the banks of the Seine,
paying particular attention to the architecture of Paris.
Readers are given an insider’s tour of off-the-beaten
path delights that are distinctly Parisian: a glimpse
of a church spire over the dormered rooftops of the city,
a bustling outdoor café, a quiet park. These panoramic
photographs provide armchair travelers with a unique opportunity
to savor the unique characteristics of an entire arrondissement
at a single glance.
