Paris is undoubtedly the capital of chic, with the city’s innate style shining through in even the most simple and everyday spaces. The quaint bistros and alleyways, artists’ studios and bohemian culture are uniquely showcased as a contemporary work of art. From skateboarders to antiquarians, “Paris Chic” by Assouline is an authentic look at Parisian life.

Edited by author Alexandra Senes in collaboration with photographer Oliver Pilcher, the book takes us on a tour of some of Paris’ most contemporary homes, showcasing quiet and intimate moments of everyday life and proving that it is people, not monuments, who make a city beautiful.
