Together, the exhibits convey a sense of nostalgia as they portray the spirited urban atmosphere typically associated with the French capital. Lovers, clochards, fashion, bistros, dogs, scenes of the city’s nightlife and bridges over the Seine make up the kaleidoscope of images, along with the often overlooked details of everyday life: passers-by, shop window displays, staircases, parks, billboards and street-lamps.
The result is a magical visual journey that captures both the lives of ordinary people and the charm of Paris as the city of love, fashion, nightlife and café culture.
