Paris in Color: (Coffee Table Books About Paris, Travel Books)

Beautifully selected photographs. Ideal to simply relax and enjoy the palette of the lovely colors of Paris.

this is a wonderful photography collection to brighten up your coffee table. the pictures are simple yet well-curated and the color schemes are too perfect. you can tell that a lot of work was put into creating this collection! i wish the book were thicker or larger, but for the price, it's still fair.

I purchased this a coffee table book & don't regret the purchase. It's cute, colorful, and captures Paris exactly as I remember it --gorgeous, yet understated. It's definitely not a compelling "read", but has pretty pictures and reminds me why I fell so mad for this city in the first place. Again, I got it solely for a coffee table book and it serves that purpose well.

Paris is such a beautiful, and big city, you really do need to take your time exploring it. And slowly, like a turtle. According to Nichole Robertson, the author of 'Paris in Color', walking with a pet turtle sets a slow pace in which to enjoy this beautiful city, and it was a fashionable thing to do in the 1800's. Armchair travellers will love this photo book for it captures those slices of Paris that most people would just pass by or take for granted. Unlike other travel books, Nichole has created one of "the Paris you see when you step out of the shadows of monuments." And this is what makes 'Paris in Color' unique. Even more intriguing is the back story behind the book. Nichole and her husband decided on a whim to move to Paris from New York. After moving to Paris, she says "everything was a challenge in the best possible way." Being out of her comfort zone was good for her, it turned out. She was able to slow down from the fast-paced New York creative scene, and carried her camera everywhere with her. Snapping photos "of everything that caught my eye." Ms. Robertson created a beautiful photo-blog titled 'Little Brown Pen', which features the most remarkable photographs of every-day Paris. The café's, scooters, signage, menu boards and snapshots of people, doing everyday things. San Francisco publisher, Chronicle Books, discovered her blog and asked if she'd like to create a book around one of her themes - the colors of Paris. Lucky for us, Nichole and her husband didn't over-think their impulsive decision to relocate to Paris. If not for a decision made over a few glasses of wine, 'Paris in Color' wouldn't exist. She says, "I guess good things happen when you follow your bliss."

This is a beautiful book. My wife and I last visited Paris 7 years ago. While we visited & enjoyed all of the typical tourist stops, it was our meandering detours through Paris' residential neighborhoods that made our trip so special. We tripped over cafe's, crepe stands, street fairs, parks and many hidden yet wonderful architectural designs. It was also on this trip we discovered my wife was pregnant with our 1st child! Of course while that made our trip extra special - that was our last European vacation alone. So I bought Paris In Color on Amazon (after spying it in an Anthropologie store) as an anniversary gift to my wife. These subtly gorgeous pictures (cleverly divided up by color segments) brought our Paris adventure back to life along with all of the wonderful emotions that we associated with that trip. It made for a very special gift and has inspired us to revisit Paris next year! Bien joué

Nichole Robertson's lovely book, Paris in Color, is pure eye-candy: gorgeous photos of the most ordinary things that seem extraordinarily beautiful in part because they are in Paris, the most beautiful of cities. Ms. Robertson is an expat who moved to Paris with her family three years ago. She describes how, strolling through Paris, the color of a particular chair, door, or vehicle would catch her eye and she would become fixated on that color for the rest of the day. She began taking a series of photos highlighting each vivid or subtle hue. For even more of Nichole Robertson's beautiful photos, visit her blog, Little Brown Pen, and follow her on Pinterest. Paris in Color is an inspiration. I have taken countless photos in Paris, mostly the same photos that everyone takes - the requisite cathedrals, Tour Eiffel, Pyramids du Louvre, Notre Dame, and the Arc de Triomphe. I have deviated from the tourist attractions to photograph flowers and produce in the neighborhood markets, Haussmannian apartments, and Mansard roofs, pastries in bakery windows, and glasses of red.But why limit the project to Paris? Why not look see everyday through rose- (or yellow- or blue-...) colored glasses?

Very nice photos of Paris, but you could get those in other places. What really makes this book an amazing coffee table book, or just an all-around gift for someone who loves Paris and/or photography, is the way it is laid out by theme and color. The author really thought this through and put forth a book about art, with art, and that in itself is a work of art.

It was very strange - the book itself was fine, but the cover looked like it had been slashed. The return was easy since there is an Amazon store not far from me. If the cover had not been ruined I would have kept it, but ultimately I'm glad to not have it. This book is all pictures, which is fine if that's what you want, but I was hoping for some narrative/description of where some of the photos were taken.

Per chi ama Parigi questo libro ti invoglia ad andarci, gli scorci fotografati sono suggestivi. L'idea di dividere in sezioni di diversi colori è molto simpatica.

Gorgeous book

This is the type of book you never get tired of looking through

I am a huge paris-lover and this book has lovely photography covering the spectrum of color. The combination of viewfinder photographs and full-view pictures are really effective. Well worth the purchase, and would make a great gift.
