In this book of watercolour paintings and sketches, the beauty of Paris is celebrated through the talents of Fabrice Moireau and Maria Kelly. Their visual and narrative images capture the history and romance of Paris, highlighting the architecture of the French capital: its grand public buildings and intimate private houses, majestic avenues and narrow lanes. Visit the Louvre, Beauboug, Orsay, Picasso, La Villette and Rodin Museums; the historic Places de la Concorde, des Vosges, des Victoires and du Palais Royal. Tour the colourful markets, enjoy the exquisite Tuileries, Monceau, Luxembourg and Montsouris gardens and discover the quintessential Paris. Paris Sketchbook is divided into four parts: North, South, East and West, each section of the city revealing its own character and unveiling its own secrets. |

Venice, a mosaic of over 100 islands, many connected by the 400 bridges which span its famous canals, is possibly the most romantic city in the world. It began as a village in the marshes and grew into a formidable sea power, dubbed the Queen of the Adriatic. Now its fading glories — the canals and palaces, monuments and churches — battle with the elements, yet remain breathtakingly beautiful. Artist Fabrice Moireau showcases Venice's grand attractions and hidden charms through his watercolour paintings and pencil sketches. |

Provence Sketchbook takes the reader through this historically rich region that also boasts some of France's most breathtaking landscapes.

Evocative watercolours and illuminating commentary combine in this book, bringing to life a variety of Provencal scenes that will prove equally delightful to those familiar with or new to the region. |

The Loire Valley is renowned for its fabulous chateaux and gardens. Indeed, the area between Gien and Angers is known as the garden of France. But for hundreds of years the Loire was an important trading and transport route and the site of many historically significant events. In the Middle Ages the kings of France began to settle in the valley, attracted by its idyllic setting and gentle climate, and it was here that the influence of the Italian Renaissance took hold and flourished. The Loire is sometimes called the last wild river in Europe. The sandbanks may shift several times a year, but the great floods of the past have been tamed. It is a peaceful river that now flows past the chateaux and towns of Blois, Chaumon-sur-Loire, Amboise, Langeais, Saumur, Angers... The area has been classified by Unesco as a World Heritage Site because of its unique cultural landscape: a complex harmony of architecture, society and economy. From Anjou to Orleans, via Touraine and Blois, we follow this historic river upstream, in the footsteps of the kings of France, Leonardo da Vinci, Rabelais, Ronsard and Turner. |
