With the same wit and perception that distinguished his charming books on London, New York, and Rome, here this famous Czech painter presents his impressions of Paris in this 1960 edition (first published in 1959). We see its famous buildings, its beautiful gardens, the museums, the sidewalk cafes, and the people who live there -- artists, the concierges, the flower girls, and even the thousands of cats. Take a tour along the banks of the Seine, or through the galleries of the Louvre, or to the top of the Eiffel Tower. Elegant, vivid pictures of one of the most beautiful cities in the world. The text is in French. Glossy red boards with monochrome illustrations, slightly yellowed on top and bottom as shown. Some tanning on inner pages and edges as shown. Slight tear on one page as shown. Internal illustrations in great condition.
