Doisneau Paris by Brigitte Ollier,

Doisneau Paris by Brigitte Ollier,
After the remarkable success of Atget Paris, a work 'Newsweek' called 'one of the great works of art of the last two centuries', and the publication in 1994 of Marville Paris, comes the richly evocative Doisneau Paris, completing the Paris Trilogy. With this third and final volume the modern period in Paris is seen through the eyes of one of this century's most celebrated and respected photographers. This is not though just a book about Paris. It is more significantly the most important book yet to appear on the photography of Robert Doisneau. Doisneau is the photographer of Paris 'par excellence' and this book will have a lasting appeal for demonstrating the power of Doisneau's images like never before. For Doisneau Parisians were the ultimate subject of Paris, and for us he remains its most perceptive and powerful observer.



The Seven Ages of Paris by Alistair Horne,
The Seven Ages of Paris by Alistair Horne,
When Paris was a small island in the middle of the Seine, its gentle climate, natural vineyards and overhanging fig trees made it the favorite retreat of Roman emperors and de facto capital of western Europe. Over two millennia the muddy Lutetia, as the Romans called Paris, pushed its borders far beyond the Right and Left Banks and continued to stretch into the imagination and affection of visitors and locals. Now the spirit of Paris is captured by the celebrated historian Alistair Horne, who has devoted twenty-five years to a labor of love. Seven Ages of Paris begins with the reign of the forceful Philippe Auguste, who greatly expanded the Capetian kingdom before devoting himself to fortifying the city and to the construction of the Louvre. Paris shed blood in the Hundred Years War and in the religious wars between Catholics and Huguenots and prospered under Henri IV's reconciliation. His grandson, Louis XIV, built the famed palace at Versailles and patronized the playwrights Moliere and Racine. With the ancien regime swept away by the Revolution, Napoleon ushered in the Imperial age, and, subsequently, the Second Empire. Partly to dampen Paris's revolutionary zeal, Baron Haussmann modernized the city: avenues were widened, squares expanded and the medieval market at Les Halles razed. Horne portrays the Prussians bivouacking on the Champs-Elysees in 1871. Paris bounced back after the war: the 1900 World Exposition showed off an electrified Champs-Elysees and the Metro station entrances in the Art Nouveau style. Most visibly, the Eiffel Tower went up in 1889 to mark the hundredth anniversary of the Revolution. The hubris of the Belle Epoque led straight into the Great War.The Armistice and the Paris Peace Conference sealed a phoney peace, and when war resumed the city suffered four terrible years of occupation and was visited by Hitler himself. Liberation brought the last of Horne's seven ages, the Fifth Republic, headed by de Gaulle.



Paris-Brest-Paris - Paris-Brest-Paris (PBP) is an approximately 1200km randonnée bicycle ride held on an out-and-back course between Paris and Brest, France, every four years. Begun in 1891, it is the oldest bicycling event that is still regularly run.

University of Paris IV: Paris-Sorbonne - In 1971, after the university reforms (Framework law drawn up by Edgar FAURE in 1968), the five faculties of the former University of Paris were split and then re-formed into thirteen interdisciplinary universities.

Notre Dame de Paris - Notre Dame de Paris (French for "Our Lady of Paris", meaning the church in Paris dedicated to Mary, the mother of Jesus), often known simply as Notre Dame in English, is a gothic cathedral on the eastern half of the Île de la Cité in Paris, France, with its main entrance to the west. While a major tourist destination, it is still used as a Roman Catholic cathedral (archbishopric of Paris).

Paris Fire Brigade - The Paris Fire Brigade (French Brigade des Sapeurs-Pompiers de Paris, BSPP), is the fire service for the city of Paris and the surrounding départements of Seine-Saint-Denis, Val-de-Marne, Hauts-de-Seine. The remaining departments in the Paris Metropole have their own fire brigades.
