Paris Souls - Unexpected Stories from the City of Light

"Anyone who does not already love Paris will fall for it after reading this book. 'Ich bin ein Pariser' - as Kennedy might have said." 

For those who love and admire Paris, this is the behind the scenes story of many people whose name we may be familiar with but perhaps not so much their story. 

In the fascinating and often unknown stories, hundreds of Parisian souls are brought back to life behind the facades, in the passages, and along the avenues and boulevards of the City of Light. 

Dirk Velghe stays far away from the well-trodden paths. 

This book shows Paris as a swirling, ever-restless organism where wondrous lives colour history with paint, **** and ink. 

If you're intrigued by things like what inspired Haussmann to redesign Paris to what we see it today, want to find out what the connection is between Coco Chanel and Churchill? Was the Eiffel Tower for sale? You'll love this book with all its intriquing detail. 

Enjoy!
