ON VA DÉGUSTER PARIS - LUTÈCE
On va déguster Paris, published by Marabout is the latest book by François-Régis Gaudry a famous French food critic and journalist.
The book is a 448 pages encyclopedia/guide about the Parisian gastronomy and I'm fortunate to be part of the 20 illustrators that helped make this book a real piece of art under the art direction of Hic et Nunc Studio and Drink Studio.
I have worked on 5 illustrated maps that are featured in the book and this is one of them. The gallo roman town of Lutèce was located where Paris currently is. It was founded by a Gallic tribe, the Parisii, during the 3rd century BC. Thanks to archeological digs, archeologists were able to identify some food habits of the Parisii. This map overlays the streets of Lutèce with current day Paris and indicates the locations of those archeological digs with the type of food remains that was found.
