The illustrator behind the highly-acclaimed books NYC Storefronts, London Shopfronts, and Brooklyn Storefronts turns his eye—and pen— to the City of Light.

Brimming with joie de vivre and delightful detail, this journey through Paris’s neighborhoods captures two hundred intriguing storefronts that help make the city a shopper’s and tourist’s paradise. As in his previous books illustrating the shops of New York City and London, Joel Holland offers the unique perspective of a traveler on foot.

Paris-based journalist Vivian Song’s text provides an insider’s perspective as to why each location is worthy of a stop on any itinerary. There are plenty of iconic stores here: Le Bon Marché, France’s first department store; Shakespeare and Company, the most famous English- language bookshop in the city; and the Ladurée macaron shop.

But there’s also a bounty of lesser-known places, like a Moroccan restaurant frequented by the city’s top chefs; a taxidermist’s mecca; and a historic lingerie shop that birthed the predecessor of the modern-day brazier. From the Marais to Montmartre, the Latin Quarter to the 1st Arrondissement, this delightful book offers a unique glimpse into what makes the city a magical and wonderfully diverse place to walk and shop.

JOEL HOLLAND is an illustrator who has lived in New York City for over twenty years. His work has graced the New York Times, the New Yorker, Apple store windows across the world, and numerous book covers. He is the author of NYC Storefronts, London Shopfronts, and Brooklyn Storefronts (all published by Prestel). VIVIAN SONG is a Paris-based journalist who covers everything from food and travel to health, culture, and breaking news. Her byline has appeared in the New York Times, CNN, BBC, Vice, and Architectural Digest, among many others. SARAH ANDELMAN is the co-founder of cult Parisian concept store, Colette. After closing Colette's doors in 2017, she launched JUST AN IDEA, a consulting and curating company based in Paris.
