A walk through Paris – without leaving your home
They say Paris is always a good idea – and this book proves it beautifully. “Paris – Portrait of a City” by TASCHEN brings the French capital into your living space with depth and elegance. Measuring 25 x 34 cm, this large-format coffee table book unfolds across 544 pages of powerful photography curated by Jean Claude Gautrand. With its premium hardcover and a weight of 4.3 kg, it carries both visual and physical presence. The imagery spans from early historical photographs to contemporary scenes, capturing the poetic, raw and intimate character of Paris. Presented in multiple languages (German, English, French), it offers both visual storytelling and cultural insight.
Between boulevards and fleeting moments
Paris thrives on subtle details – and this book embraces exactly that. Beyond iconic landmarks, it reveals everyday life: passing encounters, quiet streets, and small, human moments. The photographs play with light, shadow and that unmistakable Parisian atmosphere that feels both nostalgic and effortlessly modern.
Publishing as an art form
For over 40 years, TASCHEN has been creating books that go beyond the ordinary. Their publications are carefully curated experiences, combining design, culture and storytelling. This volume reflects that philosophy through its high-quality production and compelling visual narrative.
For moments when Paris feels just right
Whether styled on a coffee table, placed on a shelf or given as a thoughtful gift, this book fits seamlessly into modern interiors. It pairs beautifully with other volumes or stands confidently on its own. And chances are, you’ll keep returning to it – because Paris is never fully captured in just one glance.
