Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Paris, in many people’s thoughts, is the epitome of the perfect city: beautiful, romantic and imbued with vitality and culture. It is a wonderful place to visit and to live. A ‘pride of place’ mentality has characterised Parisians for centuries: ‘to be in Paris, is to be enthused’, an anonymous correspondent wrote in 1323. Packed with fact, anecdote and insight, A Travelleri´s History of Paris, offers a complete history of the city and the people who have shaped its destiny, from its earliest settlement as a Roman village with a few hundred inhabit- ants, to twenty centuries later when Paris is a city of well of over two million, at the centre of a conurbation that exceeds 12 million, nearly one-fifth of the population of France.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Paris and Environs, With Routes From London to Paris: Handbook for Travellers In the Handbook are enumerated both the first-class hotels and those of humbler pretension. The latter may often be selected b the 'voyageur en garcon' with little sacrifice of real com ort, and considerable savin of expenditure. Those which the Editor has reason to believe most worthy of commendation are denoted by asterisks; but doubtless there are many of equal excellence among those not so distin guished. It should, however, be borne in mind that hotels are liable to constant changes, and that the treatment expe rienced by the traveller often depends on circumstances which can neither be foreseen nor controlled. The Editor begs to tender his teful acknowledgments to travellers who have sent him in ormation for the benefit of the Handbook. And hopes that they will continue to favour him with such communications, especially when the result of their own experience. Hotel-bills, with annotations showing the traveller's opinion as to his treatment and accommodation, are articularly useful.

Download or read book Paris and Its Story written by Thomas Okey and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2016-09-01 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: THE History of Paris, says Michelet, is the history of the French monarchy. The aim of the writer in the following pages has been to narrate the story of the capital city of France on the lines thus indicated, dwelling, however, in the earlier chapters rather more on its legendary aspect than perhaps an austere historical conscience would approve. But it is precisely a familiarity with these romantic stories, which at least are true in impression if not in fact, that the sojourner in Paris will find most useful, translated as they are in sculpture and in painting on the decoration of her architecture both modern and ancient, and implicit in the nomenclature of her ways. Within the limits of time and space allotted for the work no more than an imperfect outline of a vast subject has been possible. The writer has essayed to compose a story of, not a guide to, Paris. Those who desire the latter may be referred to the excellent manuals of Murray, Bædeker and of Grant Allen-the last named being an admirable companion for the artistically-minded traveller. In controversial matter, such, for instance, as the position of the ancient Grand Pont, the writer has adopted the opinions of the most recent authorities.
