Paris by Paris

An ode to the City of Light, Paris by Paris is a true journey through the twentieth century through the lens of history, but also the arts, fashion, culture, and style. Over seven chapters, readers discover the glorious days of the Belle-Epoque, the Roaring Twenties, and the revived intellectual and artistic creativity of the post-war era. They stroll along the grands boulevards, where the beauty of the city’s monuments burst with history and stories to tell, and learn the city in a way known only to the savviest insiders.

Following Assouline’s best-selling volume New York by New York, Paris by Paris features rarely seen photographs, including some of the first-ever photos of the 2024 Olympics published in a book. It is thoughtfully presented in the signature Assouline style to offer a unique celebration to the City of Light. Housed in a luxurious slipcase, this volume is narrated by writers Ariel Wizman and Harold Cobert. It is also accompanied by an insightful foreword by Frédéric Beigbeder and made complete with a timeline of the city’s key moments of the past centuries.
