This book presents an enchanting aerial tour over The City of Lights. 'Ah, Paris!' Poets rhapsodize about it, painters have immortalized it, and millions of travellers flock to it every year. The sight of the soaring silhouette of the Eiffel Tower never ceases to thrill, and the gothic splendour of Notre Dame never fails to inspire.Paris is unsurpassed in the romantic visions it evokes and its wealth of architectural and artistic treasures, each with its own story that occupies a place in the city's legendary history. This superb addition to White Star's popular aerial presentation series takes readers on a memorable tour above Paris, paying homage to the rich cultural legacy of one of the world's most fascinating cities.More than 500 vibrant full-colour photographs take readers on a whirlwind tour above the Latin Quarter and the grand boulevards, along the banks of the Seine and over the city's many parks. From such beloved monuments as the L'Arc de Triomphe and Saint-Chapelle to the controversial modernist glass pyramid in front of the Louvre, Paris Flying High highlights world-famous sites, paying particular attention to the varied architecture of Paris. Readers are given an insider's tour of the city's many hidden corners, viewing from above off-the-beaten path delights that are distinctly Parisian: a glimpse of a church spire over the dormered rooftops of the city, a bustling outdoor cafe, a quaint street of centuries-old shops and homes.The panoramic quality of these photographs provides armchair travellers with a unique opportunity to savour the unique characteristics of an entire arrondissement at a single glance.
