About the Item

Paris Secret et Insolite (Secret and Unusual Paris), a French book by Rodolphe Trouilleux. Under the cobblestones, surprises: forgotten dead-ends, a cloister converted into workshops, a real-fake medieval house, the slabs of the guillotine, a 17th-century metro, a mineral water fountain, a tiny house, a miraculous Vespasian, a chapel in spare parts, Russian isbas, hidden gardens, revolutionary inscriptions, a forgotten cannonball, a working-class town in the upscale neighborhoods, a fashionable ox, abandoned convents, a washhouse facade, a bastion on the fortifications, an itinerant chapel, a pierced castle, sleeping villas, a lemon tree in a telephone booth, that's Paris! The French capital has not finished revealing its mysteries: a Palladian villa, a 15th-century tower, an acclimatization square, rats nibbling on a facade, an old Protestant cemetery, a medieval sign, a Chinese pagoda, a traveler's gate, telescopic lampposts, a tortured knight, a sundial surreal, an old reading room, a bastion in a garden, a turn-of-the-century nursery, stalactites in a cave, an arch over a vanished river. This book is an excellent guide that reminds us that, in the end, we know very little about Paris. Following the wanderings of the historian Rodolphe Trouilleux, the French capital never ceases to reveal secrets that are often well buried. This is a beautiful coffee table art book. Features: Title: Paris Secret et Insolite. Author: Rodolphe Trouilleux. Softcover book. Language: French. Full of all-color photographs and illustrations. 190 pages. Dimensions: 5.50 in by 8.25 in (14 by 21 cm). Published in 2003 by Editions Parigramme, Compagnie Parisienne du Livre. The book is in good condition, with minor wear from regular use.
