Paris, the city of lights, has been loved for many reasons throughout generations.
A series of colored photographs taken back in 1914, unearthed by VisualHistory.livejournal.com, highlights some of France’s most iconic imagery in the past.
Featuring the original Moulin Rogue (made famous by Baz Luhrmann) and images of then-everyday life, the photographs document the end of the Belle Èpoque period.
Not only do they exude a strong sense of nostalgia, but also provide an escape from today’s technologically-advanced city.
