About The Book

Paris has long been the world’s most popular destination and, in the view of many, the world’s most beautiful city – the product of two thousand years of continuous improvement and refinement. The Making of Paris is the story of how Paris evolved from a small fishing village on an island in the middle of the Seine River into the City of Light. The focus of the book is on the city as seen from the street, in order to understand the evolution of the urban landscape of Paris through the rues and boulevards and the buildings and monuments from its long and storied past.

About The Author

Russell Kelley

Born in Palm Beach, Russell Kelley returned to his hometown after a career spent living abroad. The changes in Palm Beach ignited his desire to learn how his hometown evolved from the sleepy town of his youth into the sophisticated resort of today. This curiosity led to his research with the Historical Society of Palm Beach County resulting in an Illustrated History of Palm Beach.
