Paris A Journey Through Time

How would Paris look if images from its glorious past were placed side by side with photographs of the city today? Leonard Pitt has done just this - complete with walking tours and fascinating facts on the City of Light. Along with photos from the past and present, Paris: A Journey Through Time includes detailed maps for walking tours, complete with old plans for construction that may or may not have been carried out, illustrating the strange ways in which a city can develop over the centuries. Painstakingly researched, this stunning volume is a tremendous account of hidden Paris.
