Each month in the Book Room online, we recommend newly published books and for May we've selected some books about Paris from three different points of view. At Bill & Rosa's Book Room we have two whole sections of books about Paris: some in the library to borrow and also some to purchase!
PARCS & JARDINS PARISIENS With more than 500 parks, gardens and squares, Paris is the greenest capital in Europe. The oldest gardens date back to the time of the royals (Places des Vosges), while others are resolutely contemporary (Parc André Citroen), some are mixed (Burin’s Columns in Palais Royale). All are different, depending on whether the gardener saw themselves as an architect organizing nature, or as a painter giving the illusion of his freedom. All are charming, and this book contains the most beautiful. Arnauld Chicurel’s panoramas make the most of unusual angles to enhance this living heritage like never seen before. Bilingual book.
