The sights and secrets of Paris by Larousse. From Larousse, the 150-year-old publishing firm that in France is a synonym for dictionnaire, comes a big, beautiful book that puts Paris at your feet--or, at least, on your coffee table. It's an illustrated encyclopedia of the City of Light, complete with maps, diagrams, and hundreds of vivid color photographs. First comes a short history of the city, then a tour of ten important sites and their neighborhoods. A special section called "Paris in Depth" offers a detailed directory of the main historical, cultural, and tourist sites. Finally, Larousse Paris zeroes in on architectural themes: roofs, the covered arcades, fountains, squares, cemeteries, train stations, bridges, and more.
