Like French women, all of Paris' bridges are beautiful in their own right. But certainly one of the most striking is six bridges downstream from Pont Neuf called Pont Alexandre III. Everything anyone ever loved about the baroque is here attached to this bridge. Wildly rearing winged horses, four on each side balance atop columns on each side. A host of cherubs and bearded gods cavort along the bridge balustrades over the water. Where appropriate, thick layers of gold-gild emblazon...

April 19, 2005: I discovered Hemingway's Paris & Pamplona in February of this year, three weeks after my long-planned trip to Paris. I was screaming as I read this wonerful book, thinking of the cliche: if only, if only. Still, reading Robert's book was a great way to spend a few evenings.

Finally, the book examines Ingres' importance for the great French art critic Jean Cassou, and makes a...

Then and Now
The Then and Now series examines the evolution of metropolises by juxtaposing vintage photographs or illustrations from “then” (nineteenth or early-twentieth century) and “now” (modern-day). The history-rich and architecturally diverse cities of Rome and Paris make fascinating subjects for these dramatic side-by-side comparisons. The differences between the images are often stark—the 1874 photo of the Central Station Termini in Rome bears little resemblance to its present-day incarnation (the original...
