When I was in Paris I searched for a souvenir that would encompass the panorama of the place and the spirit of delight that fills you when you stand, for instance, at the center of the Pont des Arts and take in the view above, below and all around you. This book was the answer. It shares better than photographs the way it feels to be there. I have returned to it many times and it has never failed to bring back my joy in this city.

Sempe is amazing. Going slowly through this book is like taking a walk in the Paris one remembers. Every so often, he gets a hearty laugh from me.

wonderfully charming illustrations that capture every day life in the city of lights. brilliant book.

This is a lovely book and interesting, graphically. Unfortunately, I bought it for my 15-year-old grand daughter, who may not appreciate the many subtleties. I will keep it for her, as she loves the idea of Paris and should soon grow into the book!
