About this book
As King Francois I once said "Paris is not a city its a world." Long after the swarming crowd has deserted it after the hum and buzz of traffic has subsided Paris still resonates with a discreet life of its own. Working before sunrise and after sundown photographer Jean-Michel Berts has created these dream-like black-and-white images including Montmartre and the banks of the Seine. Following the Grands Boulevards and the footprints of Baudelaire Brassa and Huysmans the deserted streets of Paris take on a poetic ethereal quality. Featuring beautiful text by the French novelist Pierre Assouline this book is a moving homage to the city of lights. Each print is given ample breathing space in this volume whose opulent trim size befits the spectacular quality of the shots.
