In the view of many, Paris is the world's most beautiful city, and the best way to see Paris is on foot. Walking Through the Ages of Paris includes ten walking tours, each covering a different historical period, richly illustrated with 150 maps and images from each historical period. The first nine walks explore the urban development of Paris in chronological order, starting with a walk through Gallo-Roman Paris and ending with a walk through the brand-new Paris Rive Gauche neighborhood. The last walk hits the highlights of nearly two thousand years of the making of Paris, also in chronological order. While written as a standalone work, Walking Through the Ages of Paris is a companion volume to The Making of Paris, published by Lyons Press.
Russell Kelley is an American lawyer who has lived in Paris for thirty years. A dedicated flaneur, he has walked the length and breadth of his adopted city, marveling at its splendid monuments, perspectives, and panoramas. Those walks led to an unending quest to understand how the urban landscape of Paris, the world's most beautiful city, evolved over the centuries. He is also the author of The Making of Paris.
