La femme de ménage voit tout

Freida McFadden

Description

For centuries, Paris has drawn visitors with its museums, architecture, and monuments.

This book includes photos of the Notre-Dame Cathedral taken only months before it was badly damaged by fire in April of 2019. Reconstruction will take as much as five years, but readers can view it here in all its glory.

Alive with history and artistic energy, the city caters to travelers of every type. Spend a day wandering through Montmartre or Belleville. Climb the Eiffel Tower and pass beneath the Arc de Triomphe.

Everywhere you look, history lives. View Pont Neuf Bridge as Renoir painted it. Picnic on the lawn in front of Notre-Dame Cathedral. Stop at literary landmarks on the Left Bank. Steep in the light and the atmosphere that can only be found in Paris.

Linger over pain au chocolat at a sidewalk café, stroll along the Seine River, and visit iconic monuments with the full-color photos in Portraits of Paris: From the Louvre to the Eiffel Tower (a Travel Photo Art book).

In the Travel Photo Art series, traditional tourism panoramas mix with arthouse aesthetics. These slim, passport sized productions are your passport to new perspectives on famous places. Peer around corners and discover a unique way to interact with monuments and memorials you thought you knew.

This popular series includes titles that mix text with the pictures. Books like Notre Dame Cathedral: Our Lady of Paris, featuring photos taken months before the 2019 fire, become keepsakes associated with a specific site. Titles like Lidice Lives and Terezin and Theresienstadt are deeply meaningful for families touched by the Holocaust.
