Paris, ils t'aiment. Paris, they love you. The city considers itself "the capital of photography" - and with good reason, for it has captivated countless photographers. René Groebli is one of them. His personal impressions of a long gone, post-war metropolis are inimitable. Many of the pictures in this publication show signs of his unmistakable signature: blurred movement, multiple exposures, the play of light and silhouettes. They testify to his unerring eye for situations, structures and composition and to his idiosyncratic, unconventional perspective, which is underscored by combining photographs from 1949 with a select few from 1979. 
 
Paris is the Eiffel Tower, the Seine, the Jardin du Luxembourg; it is also the cafés, the women with outré headgear and the cats. However, Groebli's cat is no ordinary domestic feline; she is the guardian of perfumes displayed in a shop window, while watching over the children of Paris at the same time. A young woman appears to have a halo thanks to the wall behind her. We see the Eiffel tower, alone and twisted in the distance. And so, as we stroll through the city with René Groebli, we are greeted by surprises at every corner.
