Description
This vibrant map of central Paris highlights the variety of monumental architecture that’s available for viewing across the city. Icons like the Eiffel Tower and Arc de Triomphe are illustrated alongside churches, royal palaces, and statues. Most of the depicted sites are accessible via the robust transit network, shown about a decade after the first line opened for the 1900 Paris World’s Fair.
Affixed to the paper covers is a twelve-page list of additional attractions across Paris. Designed by Robelin in Montrouge and published around 1910, based on the stations and lines shown.
