  • Highlights of a Fascinating City
    PARIS HIGHLIGHTS OF A FASCINATING C ITY “Paris is always that monstrous marvel, that amazing assem- blage of activities, of schemes, of thoughts; the city of a hundred thousand tales, the head of the universe.” Balzac’s description is as apt today as it was when he penned it. The city has featured in many songs, it is the atmospheric setting for countless films and novels and the focal point of the French chanson, and for many it will always be the “city of love”. And often it’s love at first sight. Whether you’re sipping a café crème or a glass of wine in a street café in the lively Quartier Latin, taking in the breathtaking pano- ramic view across the city from Sacré-Coeur, enjoying a romantic boat trip on the Seine, taking a relaxed stroll through the Jardin du Luxembourg or appreciating great works of art in the muse- ums – few will be able to resist the charm of the French capital. THE PARIS BOOK invites you on a fascinating journey around the city, revealing its many different facets in superb colour photo- graphs and informative texts. Fold-out panoramic photographs present spectacular views of this metropolis, a major stronghold of culture, intellect and savoir-vivre that has always attracted many artists and scholars, adventurers and those with a zest for life. Page after page, readers will discover new views of the high- lights of the city, which Hemingway called “a moveable feast”.

    PRESS RELEASE Romantic Paris, 1815-1848 April 2019 Exhibition at the Petit Palais and the Musée de la Vie Romantique 22 May – 15 September 2019 Tuesday - Sunday, 10 am - 6 pm INFORMATION Open late: Friday until 9 pm www.petitpalais.paris.fr After Paris 1900: La Ville Spectacle, the Petit Pa- lais is presenting Romantic Paris, a further epi- sode in its overview of the great periods that have shaped the city’s identity. This is both an exhi- bition and a cultural event : a sweeping pano- rama of the French capital during the Roman- tic years from the fall of Napoleon in 1815 to the revolution of 1848. Over 600 works – paintings, sculptures, costumes, objets d’art, furniture – plunge the visitor into the artistic, cultural and political ferment of the time. The exhibition’s immersive design takes the form of a tour of the period’s emblematic Paris sites : the Tuileries, the Palais-Royal, the Nouvelle Athènes quarter, Victor Hugo’s Notre-Dame, and the Grand Bou- levards and their theatres. At the same time an additional segment at the Musée de la Vie Ro- Eugène Lami, Carnival Scene, Place de la Concorde, 1834. Oil on canvas.

Portraying a day in the life of the city, the tour begins in the early hours at the Palais des Tuileries, the royal residence and the nation’s political hub. Exceptional loans, notably from the Museum of Decorative Arts in Paris, have enabled evocations both of the interiors and of figures who left their mark on fashion, like the Duchesse de Berry, or on the arts, like Marie d’Orléans, a remarkable sculptor in her own right.
