From Lutetia to Paris relates the beginnings of the town, and describes the characteristics and appearance of early Paris. The Ile was home to the palace of governors, kings and counts, and offered the protection of its walls to the religious centre. The two banks witnessed the spread of everyday dwellings, the development of craft trades and the foundation of abbeys and churches. The evolution of needs and ways of thinking throws light on the transformations which took place in the Ile de la Cité and on the two banks, from the setting up of the civitas of Parisii in the 2nd century B.C. to the reign of King Eudes, who in 885, stopped the Normans from conquering Paris.
The aim of the collection "Our Heritage Today" (Patrimoine au présent), is to capture the spirit of the past, and to awaken interest in and evoke a feeling for our historical monuments and sites. The books in the series are all based on the latest research, and each describes the history of a monument or historical site within the framework of a particular theme. In this way, interest is added to the pleasure of active discovery.
Philippe Velay, Curator of the Museums of Paris, is Head of the Archaeological Collection at the Carnavalet Museum.
