Summary: "Paris de siècle en siècle" by Albert Robida is a historical account likely written in the late 19th century. The work explores the evolution of Paris, detailing its rich history from its origins as the small island village of Lutèce through various transformations and developments into a bustling metropolis. The book serves as both a vivid portrayal of Parisian life and a meditation on the city's ever-changing identity. The opening of the book introduces the ancient history of Paris, starting with the primitive settlement of Lutèce, nestled amid forests and marshes. Robida vividly describes the arrival of the Romans and the establishment of Galloroman Paris, noting significant events such as early military incursions, the first destructions, and the city's evolution over centuries. He presents a dynamic portrait of Paris' geographical and cultural transformations while highlighting the historical landmarks and important figures that shaped its identity, setting the stage for a detailed exploration of the city's layered past.
