Timeless Paris

In Paris, enchantment awaits around every corner, and artist Marin Montagut
marvels in discovering the ateliers and emporiums that pepper the capital. For
centuries, the artisanal trades associated with the city have continued to hum
uninterrupted in unique workshops seemingly untouched by time. Today, skilled
craftspeople continue to restore architectural details, print lithographs,
weave decorative trimmings, hand roll pastels, or blend traditional herbal
remedies, right in the heart of the city. From an artist’s studio hidden away
in Montmartre to an antique shop in Saint-Germain-des-Prés, and from a period
hardware store to a cabinet of curiosities, Marin Montagut invites readers to
follow him inside nineteen quintessentially Parisian locations that inspire
and attest to the savoir faire that is the very essence of Parisian style.
