Summary: "Paris de siècle en siècle: Le Cœur de Paris — Splendeurs et souvenirs" by Robida is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The book explores the evolution of Paris from its ancient roots to contemporary times, reflecting on the significant historical events, cultural transformations, and architectural changes that have shaped the city. The narrative emphasizes the contrast between the glorified past of Paris and the modern developments that the author perceives as lacking respect for the city's rich history. The opening of this work establishes Paris as a noble vessel navigating through tumultuous history, beginning with its origins in the ancient city of Lutetia. The text details the early developments in the city, the establishment of Frankish rule, and the evolution of its significant monuments such as the Palace of the City and Notre-Dame Cathedral. It captures the juxtaposition of the vibrant historical legacy and the starkness of modern structures that the author feels obscure the beauty and memories of the past, setting the stage for a reflective examination of Paris's identity across the ages.
