Synopsis: Like all great cities and yet unlike any other Paris is alive and fluttering, it changes with the light, buffeted by Seine-basin breezes. This place called Paris is at once the imaginary land of literature and film, a distant view through shifting, misty lenses, and a vibrant contemporary city where a kaleidoscope of millions seems bent on the grand conspiracy of enjoying life. Paris, Paris: Journey into the City of Light paints a portrait in thirty perennial essays of the world's favorite city.
