Paris From Above - Yann Arthus Bertrand
An aerial tour above Paris that shows this wonderful city at its glorious best. 176 pages of breathtaking and spectacular photos that show all the sights and put them in a context that a map and even a walk around the city cannot give. Yann Arthus Bertrand is the world's greatest aerial photographer and he is at the height of his powers in this book, presenting the city of Paris which he knows so intimately. This British edition of the book provides excellent commentary in both French and English and the price from Amazon is excellent! Be warned, if you buy the book in Paris you will pay more than twice as much as the Amazon price.

warning - there are two versions of this book
A small postcard version - which is too small and which my comments refer to - and a larger book, which I think the other reviewer is referring to. I'll be sending the small one back and getting the larger one.

Yves Arthur Bertrand is a great photographer, and worth buying in large format.

too small for the subject matter
I dont think this is the book the previous review refers to. This is tiny post card size book, which is way too small for the subject matter - the images seem cramped and cropped. There are only 90 odd pages.

Yann Arthus-Bertrand is a wonderful photographer, but this book does him no favours. Rather disappointed.
