Paris By Paris (English)

For the first time a book celebrates the legend of Paris, exploring its iconic and secret places alongside the extraordinary figures who shaped its history.

Readers will discover the city through each era, from the glamorous Belle Époque to the recent Olympic Games, and will experience Kiki’s Montparnasse, Picasso at the Bateau-Lavoir, the German occupation, the rise of existentialism and jazz in Saint-Germain-des-Prés, the Nouvelle Vague with Godard’s Breathless, Dior’s New Look, and the miniskirt revolution by Courrèges, Cardin, and Paco Rabanne. Social and cultural revolutions, all of which contributed to making Paris the world’s most visited city.

Following Assouline’s best-selling volume New York by New York, Paris by Paris features rarely seen photographs, and offer a fresh new way to understand and experience Paris through an unforgettable storytelling journey of words and images. Housed in a luxurious slipcase and available in both English and French, this volume is narrated by writers Ariel Wizman and Harold Cobert. It is also accompanied by an insightful foreword by Frédéric Beigbeder and made complete with a timeline of the city’s key moments of the past centuries.

Book Care Guidelines

To preserve the beauty and longevity of your book, we recommend the following:

* Handle with Care: Always use clean, dry hands to avoid transferring oils or dirt onto the pages and cover.
* Protect from Sunlight: Avoid direct sunlight, which may cause fading or discoloration over time.
* Store Properly: Keep books in a cool, dry place, upright on a flat surface, and away from heat or moisture.
* Dust Gently: Use a soft, dry cloth or feather duster to clean the cover and page edges.
* Open with Caution: Do not force the spine flat, especially on new books, to prevent damage to the binding.
* Avoid Food and Drinks: Keep books away from liquids and food to prevent accidental spills and stains.
* ⁠Less Spine Stress: Bookstands support the spine without forcing it flat, which helps prevent cracking or warping.
