Exactly what it says on the cover - 500 photos of Paris. All in gorgeous colour, all with breathtaking, heart-rending detail, by Maurice Subervie. It's divided into areas - The Seine and its Islands, Right Bank, Left bank, Passageways, and Gardens, so you can take a virtual tour. So many aspects - the grand (place de la Concorde), the mundane (Poujauran bakery, rue Jean-Nicot), the height of summer, the snows of winter, the bejewelled interiors, the crowds, palatial elegance, backstreet graffiti, the modernism of la Defense, the stained glass of Sainte-Chapelle - I could go on, but you get the picture. 500 of them if you buy it. I'm looking for exactly the same sort of book on London and New York, but I haven't found them yet. Anyhow, this is my all time favourite photograph book, and the only tiny complaint I have is that they put the wrong photo on the front- oops! I can't stand that silly glass pyramid at the Louvre, maybe everyone else thinks it's spiffy but it always looked cheap and nasty to me. I would have gone for the two old dears sitting outside the greasy spoon cafe in the Belleville neighbourhood on page 253. Great.

I totally agree with the above post - this book is fantastic. Throughout there are beautiful pictures that really capture the essence of the city, both its famous parts and the side streets. Definitely a good 'coffee table' photo book or way to recapture holiday memory's. Brilliant.

Gave this to my partner for some of his birthday present. He too as a professional photographer, like many others, could do a book on Paris in photo's. But he is enjoying looking at it over and over, the angles etc and even spots he didn't know about.
