Sandrine's Paris by Sandrine Voillet

Sandrine's Paris by Sandrine Voillet

From the Renaissance to the French Revolution, from the construction of the Eiffel Tower to Mitterand's Grands Projets, Paris has borne witness to extraordinary people and events over the centuries, resulting in an amazingly rich cultural history. Who better to explore the city's cultural past than art historian, cultural commentator and Parisian Sandrine Voillet. In this fascinating and highly original portrait of Paris, Sandrine shares her passion for a city indelibly marked by change and revolution. Traveling through 400 years of history, Sandrine introduces the people and events that have shaped Paris into the breathtaking spectacle it is today. Part travelogue, part cultural history, and part guide to hidden Paris, Sandrine's Paris is lavishly illustrated with more than 100 beautiful images that capture the magic of the City of Lights.

Sandrine Voillet, presenter of the BBC2 series Paris, is an art historian who has worked in a number of museums and art galleries. Sandrine was educated at the Ecole du Louvre, where she specialized in the history of art from the Far East. She has also worked in the film industry, initially as part of the Artificial Eye Film Distribution Company before becoming involved in the 2003 French Film Festival.
