Famed for stunning architecture, delectable food and cutting edge fashion, Paris is the most romantic city in the world. But the "City of Light" endured many dark days transforming itself into the Metropolis it is today. Celebrity interviews, stunning graphics, and stylized reenactments reveal the surprising stories that define the growth and present day experience of this great city. Once a city where common people fought to get bread, the revolution brought about a surprising transformation to its cultural and culinary landscape, including the invention of the celebrity chef and contemporary cuisine. Twice more, Paris faced demolition, only to re-emerge as the beautiful "The City of Light" that draws so many of us today.
