A la decouverte d'un patrimoine culturel et historique unique... Un hymne a la beaute, une promenade romantique, dans le Paris de la richesse culturelle et artistique, au rythme des plus grandes chansons consacrees a la ville entiere. De l'epoque de la conquete Romaine, en traversant le Moyen-Age, au-dela des feux de la revolution francaise et tout le chemin de l'epoque moderne. Une formidable visite historique de Paris. Paris Romance is a stirring documentary which brings audiences on an historic journey through France's capital. This uncut visual tour enriched by the sounds of music by Franch singers, presents like never before the elegance, the beauty and the poetry of Paris. From the era of Roman conquest, through the Middle Ages, beyond the fires of the French Revolution and all the way up to the modern capital it has become today. A great historical tour of Paris
I picked 3 stars because I honestly don't know how to rate this. The DVD cover art shows the Eiffel Tower with a romantic couple in the foreground. The Tower was mentioned briefly at the end. There was no romance unless it was supposed to be provided by the young singers who appeared at unexpected intervals. The history, with occasional political commentary, jumped forward and backward in time and wound up just being confusing. A lot of it concerned rather awful deaths, buildings and bridges used for multiple purposes over time which were destroyed and re-built, sewer systems and underground catacombs, etc. There were close-ups of the sewers, but a lot of the city shots were at a distance and winter-grey. None of it made me want to visit Paris, and I loved Paris when I was there. Some of the old drawings and photographs were interesting and I'm sure I learned something from watching this "History of Paris", but I'm not sure what.
