Paris by Jean-Claude Simoen presents a richly curated visual and cultural portrait of the French capital, celebrating its architectural grandeur, artistic legacy, and enduring mystique. Published by ARPEL in 1985, the book chronicles the city’s evolution from medieval alleys to Haussmannian boulevards, illustrating how Paris became synonymous with elegance, intellect, and revolution. Simoen details the interplay between its iconic monuments—Notre-Dame, the Louvre, the Eiffel Tower—and the vibrant street life that animates its quartiers. The narrative argues for Paris as both muse and mirror, reflecting the aspirations and contradictions of modern civilization.
