It’s all in the details: 86 fantastic photos of the smaller details that make up Paris

Over 30 million tourists travel to Paris each year to discover the beauty that lies within this city. But what exactly makes Paris so breathtaking and unique? Sure, the big monuments, the sweeping views of the Seine, the sprawling cafe terraces are a big part of it.

But what if you look closer?

During our Paris Countdown series, where we explored every inch of Paris and its 20 districts, we uncovered the most jaw-dropping, picturesque and unbelievably detailed aspects of the city,from intricate bakery ceilings to ornate door knockers.

And our photographer, Augusta Sagnelli, captured it all. Below you’ll find 86 of her photos, which, in our opinion, highlight why Paris is so wonderful.
