»Forever Paris« — THAMES & HUDSON
Marin Montagut's charming guide takes readers inside more than 475
shops, museums, neighbourhoods, gardens, restaurants, and cafés that
exude the enchanting essence of Paris. To discover every beguiling
corner of Paris like a local, follow Marin Montagut to his favourite
places; in operation for thirty years or more, these addresses define
what makes the city so captivating. His adorable watercolours,
accompanied by drawings from antique mercantile stock lists, bring each
location to life. Reminiscent of a golden-age-of-travel guide, this book
features gilt edging, foil stamping, a leatherette cover, marbled
endpapers, a ribbon page marker, and maps. Step inside these
time-honoured establishments to be tempted by sundry souvenirs and
gifts, handcrafted by local artisans- lithograph prints, letterpress
stationery, custom umbrellas, couture fans, and classic toys. Stroll
flea markets to source period decor, sturdy workwear, or artist's
palettes. Stock up on culinary provisions, from copper kitchenware to
specialty pieces, wine, chocolate, candy, and pastries. Visit unique
galleries and artists' studios, a museum of fairground arts, a hunting
museum, or the residence of a Second Empire courtesan. See the city's
monuments from a new perspective on a boat cruise along the Seine,
meander through hidden squares and neighbourhoods that hold the secrets
of Paris's historical past, or stop to smell the flowers in botanical
gardens. This exquisite tome celebrates the most soulful and authentic
places in Paris, and will be treasured by visitors and armchair
travelers alike for years to come.A Guide to the Timeless Soul of the CityIllustrated in colourSprachen: Englisch304 SeitenVeröffentlicht November 2025 Verlag/Hersteller Thames & Hudson21,5 cm / 15,6 cm / 3,1 cm ( B/H/T )Buch (Hardcover)
