演讲提要：

  The first guidebooks to the city of Paris emerged in the 17th century, and those guidebooks consisted almost exclusively of alphabetical lists of streets so that people could find their ways around the city. Beginning toward the late seventeenth century, however, and continuing on through the 18th century, guidebooks marketed French culture to people from other countries. Under Louis XIV, it became clear to the king and to his ministers that exporting French culture as a product could produce very lucrative returns. The question this poses is whether we can properly speak of Paris as a global or world city as early as the 1700s.
