"Paris has its fauna and flora that the traveller ignores. Paris has its own history, present at every step, Paris is in the image of time. For the authors of this guide, Paris is a legend." Under the direction of François Caradec, the authors of this guide invite us to stroll through all the streets of the capital, pointing out the unusual events, historical or recent, that have taken place there.
With them, we go back in time and travel through ancient Paris, follow the seven stations of Saint Denis, marvel at the discovery, during the construction of metro line n° 3 in 1903, of a molar of a fossil elephant. We are following in the footsteps of Victor Hugo, Isidore Ducasse, André Breton and Fantômas.
It is also possible to follow routes, each one "according to your heart". Street by street, the authors propose an itinerary that has their preference, medical, artistic, gastronomic, religious, esoteric, criminal, festive or sepulchral in the company of ghosts...
For all lovers of Paris, this guide is ideal for reading about the history of a neighborhood or simply to leaf through it at random. See less
