About This Book

The author wanders through Parisian districts, offering vivid, anecdotal sketches of streets, monuments, museums, cafés and everyday life. Organized as neighborhood-based chapters, the narrative moves from arrival at the railway stations to the Île de la Cité, Notre-Dame, the Marais and the Louvre, surveying old masters, modern works and public gardens, then across boulevards, the Latin Quarter, Montmartre, Place des Vosges and Père Lachaise. Alongside art and architecture, it records café culture, street characters, local customs and personal impressions, balancing appreciative description, historical notes and practical observation for readers seeking an experiential guide to the city's sights and moods.

FOOTNOTES:

[1]Yet for Vasari there was further magic of crimson in the lips and cheeks, lost for us. Pater's note.

[2]I have since learned that this is the same dog, Barry by name, who has a monument on the St. Bernard Pass, and is stuffed in the Natural History Museum at Berne. But I know nothing of his connexion with Paris.
