PORTRAIT OF A CITY

I found these amazing photos in a book the other day 'Paris, Portrait of a City'. All iconic pictures of Paris handpicked by Jean-Claude Gautrand ranging from the 1800's to the 1980's. It got me so excited about Matty and I's trip coming up in May. I've heard so many mixed things about Paris from friends. Some love the city, others hate it. I think there's some places one needs to experience for there self to form there own conclusions. Every place is what you make of it I reckon. And Im excited to explore it regardless! x
