** The “Memoirs of Paris Past” collection presents fiction and non-fiction – travelers' guides, journals, histories,etc. - which wholly or in part shows Paris as it was at different points in history. If you love Paris and want to virtually stroll its streets in past times, search for “Memoirs of Paris Past” to find other works in the series. **
Nothing much happens in this whimsical little stroll of an absent-minded professor from his obscure street over to the Institute, and Balzac's brief portrait only covers random bits of Paris. But it is an intimate view of one slightly befuddled intellectual's slice of Paris with glances at the toll for the Pont des Arts, the book stalls which are still one of Paris' delights, a cab ride home and other random glances from one man's day.
