Description
Paperscapes: Paris features 53 of the city's seminal structures, from the historical to the cutting edge, with specially commissioned illustrations accompanied by authoritative text. Once the card around the buildings is removed, you are left with your own version of Paris to treasure and display. Paris is a modern city with an historical heart. Among the beautiful network of streets, art nouveau buildings jostle with Haussmannian apartments, modernist blocks and high-tech structures. To walk down one street is to traverse centuries of stories and architectural styles. Visitors to the French capital throng to archetypal Parisian sites such as the Tour Eiffel, Notre-Dame and Centre Pompidou, while others seek local bustling life at cafes, on the Metro and in les Jardins des Tuileries, and hidden gems such as la Musee de la Vie Romantique, la Musee Carnavalet and the architecture of Le Corbusier.
