An ode to the City of Light, Paris by Paris is a true journey through the twentieth century through the lens of history, but also the arts, fashion, culture, and style. Over seven chapters, readers discover the glorious days of the Belle-Epoque, the Roaring Twenties, and the revived intellectual and artistic creativity of the post-war era. They stroll along the grands boulevards, where the beauty of the city’s monuments burst with history and stories to tell, and learn the city in a way known only to the savviest insiders.
Following Assouline’s best-selling volume New York by New York, Paris by Paris features rarely seen photographs, including some of the first-ever photos of the 2024 Olympics published in a book. It is thoughtfully presented in the signature Assouline style to offer a unique celebration to the City of Light. Housed in a luxurious slipcase and available in both English and French, this volume is narrated by writers Ariel Wizman and Harold Cobert. It is also accompanied by an insightful foreword by Frédéric Beigbeder and made complete with a timeline of the city’s key moments of the past centuries.
Founded in Paris in 1994 by Prosper and Martine Assouline, Assouline is the first luxury brand on culture. It began with the desire to create a new, contemporary style of book, using the couple's experienced eye for visually rich stories and compelling narratives.
Guided by their passion for knowledge, culture and travel, the Assoulines have since expanded their vision to 1,700 titles in three main collections, along with special editions and unique library accessories—a grand oeuvre of inspiring creations. Throughout the last quarter of a century, the brand has established a network of international boutiques in prominent locations across the globe.
With a distinguished team of creative talents—which includes the founders' son Alexandre—the brand continues to reinvent the notion of true luxury. Assouline’s roster of collaborators includes some of the world’s most respected brands, artists, photographers, writers and designers.
