Review:
"Breathtaking shots of the city's most photogenic attractions, from the Eiffel Tower to an illuminated street corner in Montmartre." ~USA Today Critic's Pick
"...a visual feast of the City of Light....Scheller engagingly traces the city's political, artistic and architectural history." ~France Magazine
"If you live in Paris, this is a book to dive into after too many grey skies have caused you to overlook centuries-old buildings as you drag yourself out of the metro. It's the book to buy your parents before they come to visit..." ~The Paris Blog
“If ever more evidence were needed that Paris is the most beautiful city in the world, Spectacular Paris is it. The elegant coffee-table book, published this month, captures the city’s streets, squares, gardens, fountains, monuments–and its famous lights at night–in scores of superb photographs, many of them panoramas, some on fold-out pages more than a yard long.” ~France Today
