Présentation de l'éditeur :

This volume takes the reader through the history of this enigmatic and vivid city in seven witty and off-beat walks stopping not only at the great palaces and museums, parks, paintings, posetry, novels and patisserie-making convents that make up the vibrant life of this great capital. The text is complemented by old engravings, historic photographs and glorious early maps, as well as a full index and practical information.
