“Paris and its Story,” revised to serve as a guide in the “Mediæval Towns Series.” It acknowledges the limitations imposed by the sheer volume of Paris’ historical and artistic wealth, focusing on significant sites while regretfully omitting contemporary art. The authors have updated the guide to reflect recent changes, like the demolition of historic sites, and have aimed to make it practical for newcomers to Paris. They cite a wide range of sources for those interested in delving deeper into Parisian history and art, offering a practical tip for travelers to plan meals flexibly due to the vast distances within the city.
