About This Book

La chronique retrace l'évolution du cœur de Paris depuis ses origines, explorant l'îlot de la Cité, la cathédrale et le palais à travers les siècles. L'auteur décrit monuments et événements — sièges, incendies, transformations urbaines — et critique la disparition d'anciens vestiges au profit d'aménagements modernes. Chaque chapitre mêle récits historiques et observations architecturales, illustrés par dessins et lithographies qui reconstituent aspects médiévaux et modernes. Le texte insiste sur la tension entre conservation et progrès, en invitant à reconnaître et protéger les souvenirs matériels de la ville.
