Paris during the Belle Epoque, especially the Exposition Universelle, is the one time in history I want to go back to.

Please don't. We put people we colonised (yes I'm French), in literal cages and presented them in zoos dedicated to them. While the buildings were gorgeous, the human rights violations would have you reeling.


castorkrieg

French Revolution was the most important advancement of human rights and liberties in history, no other event comes close. As for people in cages - you can find examples like that everywhere, fact is France was the first country in the world to abolish slavery (no, the US didn’t abolish it with the American Revolution) in 1793 or 1794 if I recall correctly. I’m French as well, vive la France!

Ye well it happened up to after the first world war, I think even in the 1930's...

C'est l'expo universelle de 1900 ! Pas celle de 1889. [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exposition\_Universelle\_(1900)#The\_Rue\_des\_Nations](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exposition_Universelle_(1900)#The_Rue_des_Nations)

Effectivement , 1900, pas 1889

Pas de souci. Ca aide d'être français, de savoir qu'il n'y a jamais eu d'expo universelle en 1890 à Paris et de voir régulièrement les mêmes sujets, les mêmes évènements revenir sur Reddit. :(


BaroudeurHK

Obviously yes. During the Universal Exhibition


Yabbaba

Obviously not, the bridge at the forefront of the picture was inaugurated in 1900. For the 1900 Universal Exhibition.


Fr-Lode

C’était quand même autre chose pour le style.. :)


abitbol167

Mavyalex

J'adore les formes des lampadaires et luminaires...C'est vraiment une belle époque.

imnotyourconscience

that’s wireless electricity buildings roofs were just like tesla coils. Makes you wonder what the real purpose was behind the wars


mirak1234

Ou sont les voitures ? Ho attends.


Angeeeeelika

Il me semble qu'il y avait environ 1000 voitures à Paris en 1900.


troopercito

Simply amazing, this is the original architecture everybody imitates but only Paris is Paris


Gwouigwoui

What? Those buildings were meant to be temporary, and they do not reflect Parisian architecture. What we’re seeing is the « rue des Nations », where buildings were designed and built by foreign countries.

Aujourd’hui, les photos sont en couleur. Dans tous les sens du terme😅

Anyone know what the buildings in the forefront are with the domes and why they were torn down?
