This is a beautiful book of photos and illustrations of the author’s favorite 20 ateliers, emporiums, museums, and studios – many of them hidden gems and most of them historical, yet all of them located in Paris. This is the kind of book you just want to curl up with and turn the pages as if you are the one entering each of these unique spaces. Gorgeous color photos compete with collages of various old postcards and other images, while charming watercolor illustrations of art supplies both contemporary and from earlier times are also scattered throughout the book.

You could pick this up when you want to escape to Paris for an hour, or to make notes for places to visit off the beaten path when you actually take your next trip. It would make a lovely gift for a traveler, an artist, or someone who loves learning about hidden treasures in an historic European city.… (altro)
