Illustrated map of Paris showing the Seine river as a historic trade route (goods transported by boat upstream and downstream before the railways) created for Let's Eat Paris by Marabout

Illustrated map of Paris and the Seine as a historic trade route

Editorial map for a Parisian gastronomy book published by Marabout

Illustrated map of Paris for François-Régis Gaudry's book "On Va Déguster Paris" (Let's Eat Paris) about the Parisian gastronomy published by Marabout.

This map highlights the Seine river and its role as the main transport route for goods before the arrival of the railways. The illustrations depict the different goods that were transported according to their origin (upstream or downstream from Paris) and were unloaded in specific ports which no longer exist today.

Let's Eat Paris is a 448 pages encyclopedia/guide about the Parisian gastronomy and I'm fortunate to be part of the 20 illustrators that helped make this book a real piece of art.
