`An exuberant performance' THE TIMES
Highly praised on its first appearance, this new edition of the
Companion Guide to Paris, fully revised by Anthony Glyn's widow,
preserves his vivid evocation of Paris - its foundation and history,
ancient churches, wide boulevards and narrow streets, architecture, and
philosophy - while bringing the book up to date. Special attention is
paid to the completed Grand Louvre with its Pyramid, the d'Orsay and
Picasso Museums and the refurbished Centre Pompidou; the changes to the
Eiffel Tower and the Panthéon; and the restoration of the footpaths
along the Seine. Informed and amusing, the book captures the changing
moods of this fascinating city.
