A walk in Paris
With his aerial view, Victor Navlet transports us in a balloon over a Paris of the mid-19th century, just before the creation of the Eiffel Tower. From one painting to the next, we enter the city, get closer to the monuments, and finally mingle with the passers-by.
Let's visit Paris from near and far with this range of products specially created for the Musée d'Orsay.
