Paris yesterday Paris today

If I can recommend a book to give for Christmas it is that one.
I learned a lot about the history of France and particularly the old Paris.
Laurent Deutsch takes one to one 21 metro stations, one per century ...
We start this collection by the first century with the City station, the birthplace of César.
Each station is detailed in about thirty pages in which the past and present cotoyent is, what we can see and what there was before, why and how, and a key question and its answers.
The style is fluid, clear. The words are well chosen. The reading flow and ideas too.
What is interesting is that we can start ... by the end! Why not? or the environment ??
Each chapter is independent of the other, the ranking is chronological.
Laurent Deutsch wrote here a wonderful book to read, read, perfect for enjoy learning our history of France ...
