Paperback
(Forgotten Books Nov. 28, 2017)
Excerpt from Peeps at Great Cities: ParisParis does not set itself to imitate other cities. It has its own manners and customs, its own ways of doing things, and you must take it as it is. If youfind some inconveniences, you will put up with them for the sake of all else that Paris gives you - its beau tiful streets and gardens, its museums, its art galleries, its theatres, and amusements.Paris is one of the richest cities in the world, and its wealth is added to constantly by the numbers who come here on business or pleasure. It is the visitor who supports very largely the commerce of the city. Fortunes are spent here yearly in clothes alone, for Paris has always been the centre of the world's fashions. From all over the globe people who have money to Spend come to Paris to spend it. In a sense it is the playground of other nations, for in no other city is the pleasure - seeker so catered for at every turn. To pass along the Grand Boulevard of an evening, at an hour when the audiences are dispersing from the theatres, and every café and restaurant is a blaze of lights, one might well imagine that the majority of people here had no other aim than to amuse them selves. Gaiety is in the very air of Paris, and relaxa tion, after the day's business is over, is an actual necessity to countless hundreds. Nowhere else do people work so hard or enjoy themselves so whole heartedly.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
