This guide gathers them together: firefighters who make their own wine, a tree growing inside a church, an inverted phallus above a well known entrance, and an atomic bomb shelter buried beneath Gare de l'Est.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eElsewhere it traces forgotten details across the city, unsuspected remnants of former brothels, the patron saint watching over motorists, royal monograms concealed in the Louvre's courtyard, and a prehistoric carousel. There's a sundial designed by Dalí, bullet holes still marking a government ministry, a priest's private garden of religious plants, and a curious monument to Freemasonry at the Champ de Mars. A solid gold sphere sits inside parliament, a Chinese temple hides in a car park, and a wartime blockhouse remains tucked away in the Bois de Boulogne.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe guide also leads readers through more contemplative discoveries: deciphering alchemical symbols on Notre Dame, spotting lyre shaped turtles at the Opéra Comique, climbing the grand staircase of the old medical school, finding a sublime hidden library, tracking down the star shaped octahedron marking André Breton's grave, and admiring ceramic work long since forgotten by most passers by.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eA guide built entirely around the idea that Paris, however familiar, always has more hiding in plain sight.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47453560078524,"sku":"9782361958466","price":32.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0780\/6255\/1228\/files\/secretparis.jpg?v=1789082481","url":"https:\/\/www.chartandmapshop.com.au\/products\/secret-paris-jonglez-publising","provider":"The Chart and Map Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
