Beyond the Arc de Triomphe lies the unknown "life in Paris" --
A photo book documenting the 8th arrondissement of Paris from 1900 to 1940. 250 photos show the people who lived in glamorous streets such as the Champs-Élysées, the Grand Palais, and the Saint-Lazare Station.

"Memoire des rues PARIS 8e Arrondissement" is a valuable photo book that depicts the history of the 8th arrondissement from the Arc de Triomphe to the Madeleine Church and Gare Saint-Lazare through everyday scenes. Buses, horse-drawn carriages, street corner shops, people on festival days - the "true face" of the city of Paris is captured in this book.

This book is not about Paris as a tourist spot, but about the everyday life that existed beneath its famous sites. It is a valuable book for those interested in urban and cultural history, as well as for its photographic expression, clothing, and architectural references.
