Photographs of Paris, "The City of Light"Paris Photos, is a collection of contemporary and antique photographs, capturing the romantic 'City of Light', all of which are available for purchase at very respectable prices. Paris receives some 30 million foreign visitors each year, and the Eiffel Tower, some 6 million visitors. The contemporary photographs of Paris capture many of the famous landmarks known to tourists, from the Louvre and its famous pyramid entrance, to Notre Dame, and one or two slightly less touristic features. 
Paris of Old We have featured, around 200 antique photographs, the majority of which capture the World Fair (Exposition Universelle) held in Paris in 1900. Many of the constructions and pavilions no longer exist, although the exhibition did give rise to Orsay Museum, The Grand Palais, Petit Palais and Pont Alexandre III (one of Paris' most famous bridges).
Paris ShopAlthough Paris-Photos is largely aimed towards the aesthetics of Paris through pictures, we also feature an online shop for products related to Paris, from books, to CD's and DVD's, and will also be featuring a tourist guide to some of the better known (and occasionally the lesser known) sights and landmarks in Paris. |
