Walking Through the Ages of Paris

In the view of many, Paris is the world’s most beautiful city, and the best way to see Paris is on foot. Walking Through the Ages of Paris includes ten walking tours, each covering a different historical period, richly illustrated with 150 maps and images from each historical period. The first nine walks explore the urban development of Paris in chronological order, starting with a walk through Gallo-Roman Paris and ending with a walk through the brand-new Paris Rive Gauche neighborhood. The last walk hits the highlights of nearly two thousand years of the making of Paris, also in chronological order. While written as a standalone work, Walking Through the Ages of Paris is a companion volume to The Making of Paris, published by Lyons Press.
