Paris. The Complete History of the City

Paris, with which you are definitely not familiar! The city of love, artists, and poets, the capital of fashion and the cradle of the Great French Revolution, Paris is ready to reveal its hidden secrets to the reader. In Serge Nonté's book, history and everyday life are closely intertwined, the most important milestones of history and small events that have been happening every day for hundreds of years. Whether it’s a royal wedding or the bloody Bartholomew's Night, whether the musketeers hurry to the street of Vaugiard, or whether the outraged sans-culottes storm the Bastille, Paris always remains itself—it does not rush anywhere and always follows the latest fashion.

Each book is filled with the most important and unexpected facts about history, culture, the everyday lives of citizens in different eras, and the music that resonates through the ages. All information is clearly organized. Amusing and interesting facts are easy to remember and share with friends. The book will be useful for travelers and for those who want to know their history better.
