Germain Brice

Germain Brice (1653–1727) was a French author, best known for his book ''Description de la ville de Paris et de tout ce qu'elle contient de plus remarquable (Description of the city of Paris and all that what it contains most remarkable)''. The work, which was published in several editions and continually expanded, was first published in 1684. In some of the later editions the addition ''Nouvelle'' was used in the title. This book was the most popular travel guide on the city of Paris in the 17th and 18th century. Provided by Wikipedia
