«Paris la grande» is Philippe Meyer's essay on the life and customs of Paris, published by Flammarion in paperback (267 pages, in French).
After traveling through France, the author turns his gaze to Paris and portrays it through its neighborhoods, monuments and people. On the threshold of the year 2000, he asks whether the city remains a place where anyone can start afresh, whether it lives up to its myth, and whether it still deserves the affection and rejection it has aroused for centuries.
First published in 1997, in Flammarion's Documents, témoignages et essais d'actualité collection.
Recommended for readers interested in the social history of Paris and in urban essays on life in great cities.
