That the remains of Paris's first cathedral are under a parking lot in the Fifth District? Metronome follows Lor疣t Deutsch, historian and lifelong Francophile, as he goes on a compelling journey through the ages, treating readers to Paris as they've never seen it before. Using twenty-one stops of the subway system as focal points--one per century--Deutsch shows, from the underground up, the unique, often violent, and always striking events that shaped one of the world's most romanticized city. Readers will find out which streets are hiding incredible historical treasures in plain sight; peer into forgotten nooks and crannies of the City of Lights and learn what used to be there; and discover that, however deeply buried, something always remains.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Lor瀟t Deutsch\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 125002367X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781250023674\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e St. Martins Press-3PL\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/03\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 305\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.82lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.31h x 6.19w x 0.90d","brand":"Lor瀟t Deutsch","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43947902042367,"sku":"9781250023674","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_6759c140-9d2f-42c8-b2ca-40c8cc3bfa3b.jpg?v=1681521466","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/metronome-lornt-deutsch-9781250023674","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
