Monuments of Paris

From Notre-Dame to the Quai Branly Museum, the monuments of Paris bear witness to all the eras the city has known and are so many landmarks for avid urban walkers. Taking to the heights, Arnaud Chicurel and Pascal Ducept provide a new perspective on these palaces, towers, arches, and prestigious squares. By seeking out unusual angles and exceptional lighting, they show us a whole new side of the City of Light we thought we knew so well.

Arnaud Chicurel is a lecturer at the Louvre Museum and also a professional photographer whose images are regularly published in the press. He is the author of several works including Palais de Paris (Parigramme 2017).
Pascal Ducept has a Ph.D. in chemistry and has worked as a research assistant at Colorado State University (USA). During his time in beautiful Colorado his numerous trips through the Rocky Mountains and the national parks sparked his passion for photography. Since returning to France he has devoted himself full-time to this art, particularly Paris his hometown. He now spends his time between France and the USA.
