Book Paris Chic - Assouline

Paris is the city of chic and as such its innate style shines throughout the city, even in the simplest of spaces. Quaint bistros, quaint alleys, artists' studios and unique characters are transformed into modern genre painting when set in Paris. From skateboarders to antique dealers, this volume is a glimpse of Parisian life, as if looking over the edge of the balcony of your own pied-à-terre.

In collaboration, author Alexandra Senes and photographer Oliver Pilcher open the doors to some of the most sophisticated houses in Paris, sharing an intimate portrait of diverse families. The quiet, everyday moments of Parisian life are eternal through Pilcher's lens. Monuments do not make a city; people do.
