Art historian Sandrine Voillet tells the story of how Paris rose up from the blood-stained streets of the French revolution to become the world鈥檚 first great modern metropolis in just 100 years.
From restaurants to Rodin, from boulevards to bistros, and from photography to the impressionist painters, Paris led the way in transforming the way people lived, worked and played in cities. Voillet reveals why Parisians loved their sewers and courtesans but hated Sacr茅-Coeur and the Eiffel Tower.
