Breakfast - drink coffee in cafes in Paris as the city wakens, Parisian dogs play in manicured parks, the gargoyles of Notre Dame and their medieval riddles, Rodin's The Thinker, here is a book of illustrations celebrating French culture and must-see sites in the capital of France. Take an enchanting tour of Paris's most charming places, objects, and pastimes. Organized by season, it takes the reader through a year's worth of quintessentially Parisian experiences, from secret gardens bursting with roses to exotic plumage at the city's bird market, fantastical murals on the ceiling of the Paris Opera House, street vendors serving freshly roasted chestnuts in newspaper cones, candied violets at Paris's oldest sweet shop, dazzling colours in the stained glass at Sainte-Chapelle, cups of hot chocolate on a cold winter day and more. The friendly text and whimsical illustrations make this a poetic letter to the City of Light. A uniquely intimate perspective in this triomphe of je ne sais quoi and joi de vivre! 16.51 x 24.13cm. 112 pages.
