Reader Reviews
This is an exceptionally interesting book filled with many stories of how the city of Paris came to be. It is filled with drawings, paintings and photographs of life along the Seine River and the history that took place from an anecdotal point of view. The approach that the author took to this book is to allow the reader to understand the stories behind the stones that you see as you walk along the Seine in Paris. Here is an excerpt from the dustjacket: "Behind an old facade they will see the sahadow of a beautiful, plotting woman; in an ancient square they will see traces of riot and massacre; here and there in the street they will see a grandiose gesture, hear a colorful phrase, remember an old tale of love...Paris on the Seine is a promenade along the river past whose shores flows the history of Paris. And Paris is the core of France. Not textbook history, but the tumultuous passionate actions of men and women that raised buildings and brought them down again, spanned the river with bridges, named streets that were then renamed and renamed again..."
