Paris from above - Yann Arthus-Bertrand

Yann Arthus-Bertrand, internationally bestselling photographer of The Earth From Above, shares over 200 aerial photographs of the City of Light. The unique point of view shows Paris in a completely different way: the reader will take a dive into cozy little streets, rooftops, courtyards, monuments... the unique poetry of each neighborhood is highlighted.In a way that is impossible from street level, you can see the old neighborhoods of Montmartre, Montparnasse and Mnilmontant; iconic historical monuments like the Eiffel Tower, Notre-Dame or the Invalides; or perhaps modern Paris like La Dfense or the new neighborhoods around the Bibliothque nationale.Organized around the major quarters (the banks of the Seine, Ile de la Cit and Ile Saint-Louis, Saint-Germain-des-Prs, Luxembourg, the Latin Quarter; Austerlitz-Tolbiac, "Chinatown"; Orsay, les Invalides; Montparnasse, Denfert-Rochereau; the Eiffel Tower, the Champ de Mars, Trocadro; l Etoile, the Champs-Elyses, Place de la Concorde; Madeleine, the Opera; Pigalle, Montmartre; canal Saint-Martin, Belleville, Mnilmontant, Oberkampf, Pre Lachaise; Bastille, the Marais, les Halles; the Louvre, Palais-Royal, les Tuileries; la Dfense), this bilingual edition paints an intimate and unique portrait of Paris, the city of lights.
