  • It all began in Paris. And with a tireless flâneur who has been exploring its two banks for years. From this loving exploration, he has distilled 100 unconventional maps over the course of time.
  • Each one reveals a unique perspective: you’ll discover all the streets from which you can see the Eiffel Tower, those where barricades were erected during the Paris Commune of 1871, neighborhoods defined by the source of the water in your tap, the vanished islands that once dotted the Seine, the route of the first manned flight (in a hot-air balloon)…
  • This Useless Atlas is a visual invitation to a poetic journey, to encounter forgotten things, and others that are right under our noses without us paying attention. The maps follow one another and accumulate in a delight in detail, anecdote, and contemplation—finally, in a stroll through the useless, to the (re)discovery of a city a hundred times immense.
