The narrative combines both factual history and the romantic legends that shape the city's identity, making it particularly appealing for readers interested in the cultural and historical significance of Paris. The opening of the book sets the tone by reflecting on the author’s admiration for Paris, establishing the city as a symbol of cultural significance and enduring spirit through centuries of struggle and triumph. Okey introduces the city's early beginnings as Lutetia, highlighting its geographical advantages that made it a center for trade and military importance.
