A Wanderer in Paris

Although the reader will quickly make the discovery for himself, I should like here to emphasise the fact that this is a book about Paris and the Parisians written wholly from the outside, and containing only so much of that city and its citizens as a foreigner who has no French friends may observe on holiday visits. I express elsewhere my indebtedness to a few French authors. I have also been greatly assisted in a variety of ways, but especially in the study of the older Paris streets, by my friend Mr. Frank Holford. E. V. L. NOTE Since this new edition was prepared for the press the devastating theft of Leonardo da Vinci's "Monna Lisa" was perpetrated. Pages 81-87 thereforedescribing that picture as one of the chief treasures of the Louvremust change their tense to the past. E. V. L. vii ix IN COLOUR x IN BLACK AND WHITE 1 The Gare du Nord and Gare St. LazareThe Singing Cabman"Vivent les femmes!"Characteristic ParisThe Next MorningA Choice of DelightsThe Compas d'OrThe World of DumasThe First LunchVoisin wins. Most travellers from London enter Paris in the evening, and I think they are wise. I wish it were possible again and again to enter Paris in the evening for the first time; but since it is not, let me hasten to say that the pleasure of re-entering Paris in the evening is one that custom has almost no power to stale. Every time that one emerges from the Gare du Nord or the Gare St. Lazare one is taken afresh by the variegated and vivid activity of it allthe myriad purposeful self-contained bustling people, all moving on their unknown errands exactly as they were moving when one was here last, no matter how long ago. For Paris never changes: that is one of her most precious secrets. ......Buy Now (To Read More)
