Paris Through the Ages: An Illustrated Historical Atlas of Urbanism and Architecture

Rating:
Summary: Excellent, Brief Guide to Historical Paris Architecture
Review: This little atlas is an excellent introduction to the history of Paris architecture, from early Roman-era settlements to the 1960s. The numerous maps and illustrations show its architectural development at every step. An hour or two spent perusing this book will give the first-time visitor a very useful grasp of the city's layout and how it grew up that way. Read it before you go.
