Paris Mon Amour - Reviews
"This compilation of photographs by renowned photographers from the beginning of photography showcases an overwhelming love of Paris as a photographic subject. This "best of Paris" volume is appreciated for the caliber of its images, and is worthy of a place next to your Atget library."Picture, New YorkUnited States |

"Un grand album souple, des images qui font référence, le ticket d'entrée pour le charme parisien."Vivre Côté Paris, ParisFrance |

"Voilà un livre qui ravira tous les amoureux de Paris. 233 clichés noir et blanc, signés de photographes réputés ou inconnus, retracent Paris de la fin du XIXème siècle à aujourd'hui, en passant par les guerres, mai 68, etc. Grandes perspectives ou petits détails, anonymes et visages connus, scènes de foule et portraits, monuments et transports en communs... Tout Paris, tous les Paris y passent. Les thématiques (les amoureux, bistrots, Parisiennes, les gosses, Paris des barricades...) sont anecdotiques, nostalgiques ou engagées. Hormis l'introduction de 17 pages (trilingue comme souvent chez TASCHEN, Français, Anglais, Allemand), il n'y a pas de texte, tant les photographies sont parlantes. Un beau livre dans lequel on peut se plonger des heures durant."Blogs.elle.fr/sophielit/France |

The translation was excellent, so exact and close. But could the Paragraphs be made smaller in future with clear spaces between them, and most important for the Student of language, that the Paragraphs line up with one another. It is easier for the Student
to be able to glance across quickly from German to English and it helps to understand the equivalent German or English word better than looking up the word in a Dictionary each time. Thank You derekwcole(at)yahoo.co.uk derekwcoleUnited Kingdom |

"Une compilation des photographes amoureux de la capitale… C'est un magnifique recueil sur Paris, à apprécier également pour son format d'image (245 x 329 mm). On y retrouve tous les grands noms, Brassaï, Sieff, Ronis… qui ont photographié les bistrots, les boîtes de nuit, les passages, la vie sur les boulevards…"Photo magazine, ParisFrance |

"This book is pure nostalgia, filled with classic black-and-white prints by the usual suspects, along with some lass familiar shutterbugs."LA Weekly, Los AngelesUnited States |
