Paris is a French-speaking city that was introduced in Thunder City.
It was previously mentioned in Mortal Engines, where it is a traction city; and in Fever Crumb, where it is a rival to London that is rumoured to be preparing to mobilise.
Description[]
Late Black Centuries[]
Paris is presumably repopulated and mobilised by then.
Traction Era[]
Paris uses copies of the Godshawk engines that London uses.
Aviators dock at the iron lattice docking tower, which is modelled on the Eiffel Tower. (It might even be the original tower.)
History[]
Sometime in the Traction Era prior to the events of Mortal Engines, Shrike served as an executioner aboard the city. He was much feared by the criminals, which gave him a dark reputation among them.
By the time of Predator's Gold (and continuing to the time of Mortal Engines as well), Paris is seen as an exotic and sophisticated tourist destination. Nimrod Pennyroyal wrote many of his books there.
