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 neighbourhoods 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 Le Bon Marché, France's first department store; Shakespeare and Company, the most famous English-language bookshop in the city; the Moulin Rouge, where the can-can was born; and the Ladurée macaron shop. But there's also a bounty of lesser-known places, like a Moroccan restaurant frequesnted by the city's top chefs; a taxidermist's mecca; a historic lingeree shop that birthed the predecessor of the modern-day brazier; and a beloved hole-in-the-wall that sells authentic Shanghai-style pan-fried buns. 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.
