Description
Champs Elysées : Dictionnaire historique, architectural et culturel - The first book in the "Dico des rues de Paris" series, Le Dictionnaire historique, architectural et culturel des Champs-Élysées offers an exhaustive tour, between buildings and gardens, of the avenue on which, for three centuries, the history of France has been played out. Since Louis XIV and Le Nôtre's design of the promenade, regimes, invasions and coups d'état have coexisted on the avenue with the wildest and most successful manifestations of the French art de vivre, which today serves as a showcase for the world's leading brands. From yesterday to today, the Dico offers a glimpse behind every facade, in every square, a guided and exhaustive tour for the 300,000 daily strollers who, from Vuitton to the Arc de Triomphe, from Abercrombie to the Place de la Concorde, seek out a memory now restored in an easy-to-use reference work. - Gourcuff Gradenigo - 2013
