Description

In this book of watercolour paintings and sketches, the beauty of Paris is celebrated through the talents of Fabrice Moireau and Maria Kelly. Their visual and narrative images capture the history and romance of Paris, highlighting the architecture of the French capital: its grand public buildings and intimate private houses, majestic avenues and narrow lanes. Visit the Louvre, Beauboug, Orsay, Picasso, La Villette and Rodin Museums; the historic Places de la Concorde, des Vosges, des Victoires and du Palais Royal. Tour the colourful markets, enjoy the exquisite Tuileries, Monceau, Luxembourg and Montsouris gardens and discover the quintessential Paris. Paris Sketchbook is divided into four parts: North, South, East and West, each section of the city revealing its own character and unveiling its own secrets.
