I love Paris And I know Im not alone in that regard Ive strategized long and - photo 2

I love Paris. And I know Im not alone in that regard. Ive strategized long and hard to find ways to spend time there on a regular basis. I love visiting favorite places that I know will deliver a happy frisson of delight when I step insidethe paper shop where I once bought my wedding invitations, whose fragile old door still signals my arrival with that familiar little jingle; my favorite, intimate, packed-to-the-rafters bookshop; the Luxembourg Gardens on a crisp autumn day; the satisfaction of knowing where to buy the best chausson aux pommes. And the list goes on. But I also love Paris because it never fails to teach me something new. No matter how many times Ive walked its streets, I always happen upon some detail that Ive never noticed beforea plaque identifying where someone lived, a centuries-old restaurant hidden down some side street, a specialty museum I never knew existed, a new patissier, even a graceful new bridge arcing across the Seine. Each discovery offers me a fresh chance to fall in love with the city anew.

This guide follows in the footsteps of twenty-seven of Pariss most famous artists, authors, lovers, politicians, and neer-do-wells. From Napolon Bonaparte to Coco Chanel to Serge Gainsbourg, the intimate walking tours within illuminate the lives and loves of some of Pariss best-known devotees. But this guide also shows how important the city itself is to their stories, and what a catalyst it has been over time. Paris, in many cases, helped these people find their calling. They used the city as their muse, drew inspiration from its beauty, exposed its underbelly, and, in every single case, were transformed and elevated by it. As a result, they went on to change the course of art, fashion, food, philosophy, politics, and beyond. The well-loved streets are not just atmospheric (though they are that) or full of pretty things (though they most definitely are that too). They have served as a force for changecompelling these people to create something new, whether it was the first little black dress or the first Modernist painting.

As for how to use this guide, it should be quite straightforward. For each person featured, youll find a brief history that focuses on Pariss role in their life and an accompanying walk that leads you to the places that were important to them. Metro stops are indicated at the start of the walk, and destinations covered on the walk are highlighted in bold and numbered. The numbers correspond to the map and follow the walking route. Most of the walks take place in a single neighborhood, though a few require that you hop on the metro (these are marked). At the end of some walks, youll find additional options for further research relevant to the walk. These might include places to go to hear jazz, restaurants to savor, or museums to explore. All walks begin and end at metro stops (with the exception of the Marie Antoinette walk).

As you retrace the steps of some of Pariss most illustrious residentswalking along both familiar boulevards and unknown streets, eating and drinking at their favorite spots, exploring their neighborhoods, seeing where they painted, wrote, argued, learned, loved, and livedyou can see the city with a fresh eye and come to appreciate its intoxicating, inspiring power as never before.

Without Paris Picasso would not have been Picasso.

ART CRITIC JOHN RUSSELL

Pablo Picasso arrived in Paris from Spain in 1900 at the age of nineteen. He settled in Montmartre, a labyrinthine village on the northern edge of Paris. Although he shuttled back and forth between Barcelona and Paris for a few years, he made Paris his permanent home in 1904. Because it was cut off from the rest of the city, Montmartre had long drawn artists and bohemians in search of cheap accommodations. As a result, it had become a densely packed melting pot of young foreigners in search of creative inspiration and freedom from the constraints of their provincial hometowns.

Picasso was thrilled to escape the confines of his overly constricting native country, and dove headlong into the seductive Montmartre scene. He found a studio in a dilapidated building dubbed the Bateau Lavoir, or the Laundry Barge (thus named because, with the laundry hanging from the windows, it resembled the laundry boats on the Seine). Although the studio was primitive (no gas, no electricity), Picasso was at last free to roll up his sleeves and pursue his passion in earnest. He started out by selling his artwork for a few sous on the streets, until the eminent Gertrude Stein became a devoted patron. She was crucial to his early success, supporting him financially and exposing his work to other buyers through her salons.

Parisian artists and intellectuals at the time were seeking to break with the past. In Paris, Picasso found not only support for his style, but also a community that challenged him, fueling his already formidable creative drive. He befriended avant-garde poets and painters, with whom hed carouse late into the night, feverishly debating art and poetry. It was during this time that he and his friend Georges Braque hit upon Cubism, a watershed moment in the history of art.
