Opis

No-one knows a city like the people who live there - so who better to relate the history of Paris than its inhabitants through the ages? Taking us from 1750 to the new millennium, 'Parisians' is a book to read from cover to cover, to lose yourself in, to dip in and out of at leisure, and a book to return to again and again.
