We will go in search of this mythic Paris in books, in art galleries, in cinemas, in museums and in the streets themselves. We will fi rstly trace the history of the city through its Roman origins to its place as the head of a highly-centralized state, pausing to refl ect upon major historical, social and cultural developments.
