“Well, as Blanche DuBois could have told you, nothing enhances the allure of a lovely but aging facade better than the caressing glow of dim light! All those Parisian landmarks, dripping with beauty and history by day, become sexy and mysterious by night, as the city spares no expense spotlighting its treasures. The Seine especially comes alive after dark, its pulsating waters churned by the cruising tour boats, reflecting and refracting the lights from the ponts and street lamps and buildings. It's as if you get to see Paris all over again, but through a completely different lens. Oh hell, let me just come out and say it–Paris at night is an architect's nocturnal wet dream!” –Shirley Copperman, excerpt from La Ville-Lumiere
