The allure of the Parisian woman may be difficult to define, but is incontestable. A knotted scarf, the tilt of a hat, a beted trench - just what is it about the women of the City of Light that makes them the envy ofthe word ?

This light-hearted and nostalgie romp through twentieth-century Paris creates a beautiful history of the exceptional women of the world's most romantic city, with iconic photographs by Édouard Boubat, Brassai, Robert Doisneau, Jacques Henri Lartigue, Janine Niepce, and Willy Ronis.
