Summary/Abstract: The paper focuses on the literary and historical image of Paris, which has a significant role in the context of the modern man’s mentality during the interwar period with its cultural status, technological advances and diverse society. The city is projected through the perspective of the traveller, as it is outlined in the Bulgarian literature from 1920s and 1930s. Paris is established as a metropolis that has no equivalent, with unprecedented urban infrastructure, elegant panoramic image and secular lifestyle.
