«Paris la Grande» is an essay by Philippe Meyer about the city of Paris, published by Gallimard in the Folio collection (paperback).
After traveling across France in an earlier work, Meyer turns to Paris and asks whether the capital still lives up to its myth: that kind of America where anyone can hope for a new beginning. He portrays it through its neighborhoods, monuments and people, celebrating its diversity and its capacity to escape the neighbor's gaze.
The work appeared in 1997; this paperback edition in the Folio collection was published in 1999.
For readers interested in Paris and in the urban chronicle written from a personal perspective.
