It was nice to see what Paris was like in the early 1920s and 1930s.
It was a nice little touch of the book being in french on the other side.
Adding Paris to my travel list

Such a classy looking book.
(I dream of understanding the French without looking at the English translation on the right...)

“Have you never noticed how absorbed people look at the climb from floor to floor? So many resolutions reached, so many anxious questions to which answers lie in wait behind the door that is about to open! Here on the stairs is the time in the place for making up your mind, that final moment of reflection before you take the plunge.”

A travelogue unlike any other, written by an octogenarian who loved the city he lived in.
