The coat of arms for Paris features a sailing vessel with the motto: 'She floats but she does not sink'. This emblem of Paris is often overlooked despite its omnipresence on hundreds of public buildings, where it has been rendered in virtually every material. Claude Bestel's photographs featured in Pentagram Papers 24: The Arms of Paris, are an amazing record of the ships of Paris.
