For this new edition of ` Paris from Above`, in `widescreen` format, Yann Arthus-Bertrand invites us on a privileged aerial journey over the city, represented by more than 200 previously unpublished photos. What it reveals is an intimate overview of streets, roofs, courtyards & monuments, a new look at Paris that captures the poetry of each individual district. The old Paris of Montmartre or Menilmontant; the historic Paris of emblematic mounuments like the Eiffel Tower, Notre-Dame & Les Invalides; or the modern Paris of La Defense. Mounuments as they have never been seen berfore & may never be seen again. Philippe Tretiack is the narrator, explaining how Paris came to be; conjuring up its colour & music & revealing the city that lies beneath... Detailed captions describe the places great & small that make up present-day Paris.
