I saw the wonderful video in Paris at the Marmottan Monet Museum. I was able to view his fantastic photographs exhibited there as well as see the video set to French songs. I bought the book and it is just a wonderful keepsake for anyone that loves Paris. My regret? That I can't get my hands on the incredible video as well. BUY THE BOOK!

VISIONS OF PARIS
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
The images in this book are first rate and very vivid. Paris is of course a gorgeous city and making her look good is not that difficult, but this book does show her at her best. It's easy to forget at street level how green Paris is and how many parks and private green spaces the city possesses, when viewed for the air you see how brilliant Haussmann, Napoleon III's prefect of the Seine, redesigned the city. It was said he designed the grand boulevard so that the Emperor could easily get troops in in the event of politcal unrest, but whatever the reason it makes for a spectacularly beautiful city. I highly recommend this book to anyone with a love for Paris, and frankly who could not love this singular city.
Loved it!
