Chronicles of Old Paris: Exploring the Historic City of Light (Paperback)

Discover one of the world s most fascinating and beautiful cities through 30 dramatic true stories spanning the rich history of Paris. John Baxter takes readers through 2,000 years of French history with tales of the kings, queens, saints, and sinners who shaped the city. Essays explore the major historic events from the martyrdom of Saint Denis near today s Abbesses Metro station to the epic romances of Heloise and Abelard, Josephine and Napoleon, and George Sand and Frederic Chopin. Learn about the labyrinth of catacombs snaking under all of Paris and the artists who called the seedy Montmartre home in the 19th century. Then see it all for yourself with guided walking tours of each of Paris s historic neighborhoods, illustrated with color photographs and period maps."
