History, geography and science

Created by Émile Bourdelin, an industrial designer and engineer, the map of Paris as the crow flies offers a vision of the capital at the very moment when it was reorganised, on 16 June 1859, going from twelve to twenty arrondissements by the absorption of eleven neighbouring communes, from Belleville to Vaugirard, from Auteuil to Montmartre.
