“Paris Paris: Journey into the City of Light
(David Downie; 2005, re-printed 2011; Transatlantic Press)
As our reviewer Anne Jacqueline described:Starting from the time when Paris was but a sandy island between two branches of the Seine, inhabited by ferocious fisher folk – the Parisii – Downie will walk you to Paris places and people, mixing present geography and history.http://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gif
This book is a great way to discover Paris, whether you already know the city or not. The popular tourist attractions are not forgotten, but the city is also seen from a human point of view: Souls. Dreams. Work. There are many ways to read this book, but on your sofa, with a good cup of tea or a glass of wine is a good start. Read, discover, and dream.”
