Chacun d'eux est présenté par un texte, une photo contemporaine de la date de sa construction et, pour la plus grande partie, d'un plan.

Deux index, respectivement par noms de rues et par architectes, adossé à un jeu de cartes détaillées, permettent au promeneur de se repérer aisément, tant dans le livre lui-même que sur le terrain. Présentant presque un bâtiment par mois sur la durée de la période, cet ouvrage véritable guide et ouvrage de référence incontournable, invite à redécouvrir un Paris toujours renouvelé.

Summary:
Over the last decade, the look of the Estonian capital has been radically transformed. Part of this change is due to the emergence of new urban areas and a complete shift in perspective on historic neighbourhoods. Rather than focusing only on new buildings or competitively rating their aesthetic worth, this architecture guide selects works based on sustainability and technological modernism. Attention is paid to new buildings that adapt to the historical and environmental context, while typical and representative buildings are also pointed out in a broad cross-section of Estonian architectural culture. For this reason, examples of Stalinist and later Soviet architecture also appear.

Summary:
This guidebook showcases 150 buildings from the past 100 years starting with one of the most influential urban projects ever: the Gran Vía. This main avenue marked a milestone for Madrid which went from being a historic city to the modern capital that it is today. This intervention had been ongoing for almost two decades with the initial phase of construction reaching completion circa. 1917. A selection of the most relevant buildings thereafter until the present day sheds light on Madrid’s architecture in relation to its inherent historical context, including the need for the reconstruction of built heritage after the Spanish Civil War, the influence of the Franco dictatorship lasting for almost forty years, and the new materials and collaborative architecture that have arisen during the current economic crisis, among other aspects. Seven proposed routes lead us through the different districts that make up the city, as well as those historic epochs that have made Madrid the city it is today.

Alternant descriptions architecturales détaillées et remarques plus subjectives – notamment politiques –, Claude Eveno remet sa vie dans le contexte de la ville qu'il habite, mêlant habilement complexité et proximité. Les nombreuses références picturales, cinématographiques, littéraires ou encore musicales, qui font l'objet d'un index, ancrent le récit dans une réalité toute personnelle et guident le lecteur, sans aucune prétention, à travers Paris. L'humour qui imprègne le texte, en plus d'atténuer l'intensité du changement, de la disparition, de la destruction, inhérents à l'évolution de toute grande ville aujourd'hui, crée une complicité avec le lecteur. De cette façon, Revoir Paris peut être aussi considéré comme un guide de la ville. Celui-ci traduit les sensibilités de son auteur et il donne à celui qui le lit l'envie de déambuler dans les rues de Paris. Ainsi, de la place Vendôme aux Halles, du funiculaire de Montmartre à la place des Abbesses, l'auteur dresse, à travers ce livre, le portrait d'une ville et d'une époque, le portrait d'une espèce d'atmosphère qui fut non seulement celle de la vie de Claude Eveno à Paris mais celle de sa génération dans une ville qui leur a offert la révolte, l'art subversif et l'action politique, l'enthousiasme et la perte des illusions.
