Paris Shopfronts: Illustrations of the City's Best-Loved Boutiques, Brasseries, and Bars, and More

The illustrator behind the highly-acclaimed books NYC Storefronts, London Shopfronts, and Brooklyn Storefronts turns his eye-and pen- to the City of Light. Brimming with joie de vivre and delightful detail, this journey through Paris's neighborhoods captures two hundred intriguing storefronts that help make the city a shopper's and tourist's paradise. As in his previous books illustrating the shops of New York City and London, Joel Holland offers the unique perspective of a traveler on foot. Paris-based journalist Vivian Song's text provides an insider's perspective as to why each location is worthy of a stop on any itinerary. There are plenty of iconic stores here: Le Bon Marche , France's first department store; Shakespeare and Company, the most famous English- language bookshop in the city; and the Ladure e macaron shop. But there's also a bounty of lesser-known places, like a Moroccan restaurant frequented by the city's top chefs; a taxidermist's mecca; and a historic lingerie shop that birthed the predecessor of the modern-day brazier. From the Marais to Montmartre, the Latin Quarter to the 1st Arrondissement, this delightful book offers a unique glimpse into what makes the city a magical and wonderfully diverse place to walk and shop.; Publisher: Prestel; ISBN: 9783791393315; Published: 2025-2-11; Binding: Hardback; Size: 241mm x 191mm; Pages: 176pages; Country of Publication: Germany
