What reading level is Paris, Paris: Journey Into the City of Light book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
“emperor,” and “king” were favorite titles given former president François Mitterrand. Admirers and detractors alike also called him “Tonton” for his avuncular charisma, or “La Grenouille,” because he looked startlingly like a frog. Mitterrand’s presidency lasted from 1981 to 1994. But his heritage as a builder lives on. Like a pharaoh, he commissioned a pyramid (at the Louvre) and a Great Library of Alexandria (the Très Grande Bibliothèque, at Tolbiac). With Napoleonic imperiousness he ordered ...a triumphal arch (at La Défense) and one-upped Napoléon III with a bigger opera house (at La Bastille). To prove he could subsume his presidential predecessor, he adopted the unfinished projects of Valéry Giscard d’Estaing: La Villette, the Musée d’Orsay, the Institut du Monde Arabe.Anyone who thinks Mitterrand’s so-called Grands Projets are old news should rethink: not only do Parisians have to live with them daily, a condition known by some as “collective sore eye.”
