Paris 1920s

These vintage Paris photos show just how much the city has changed over the past century, all while remaining one of the most beautiful places on the planet.

Vive la France!

André Kertész Paris 1925 - 1936, from "Diary of Light"

Some of my style inspirations: drama, movement, black.

Children in old photos show us the similarities and differences between their time and ours. The differences will make you reflect on what their lives must have been like; we might notice that children were dressed just like adults, and if maybe more was expected of them. But the similarities will bring a smile to your face: a smile that is mirrored on the faces of children at play, often with friends, a favorite toy, or a pet.

We came across a fascinating film that shows scenes of Paris during the 1920s, and thought it would be fun to see how much the city has transformed since then. As it turns out, not much has changed in 100 years! From the Garnier Opera to waiters' uniforms, Paris continues to be one of the most beautiful and historic cities on earth!
