750 Years in Paris

Now isn't this fun? Mahé takes a building in Paris from the time it was first built until the present day, stopping now and then to take a close look at how it has changed and what's going on around it, through seven hundred and fifty years of history. It's an oversized book, so each stop on the timeline is filled with lots of delightful details in the drawings. Don't expect a lot of explanation about what's going on, but it's probably sufficient for the children who are the target audience of this book. Quite fun.
