The Eifel Tower, the Metro, Department Stores, Cabarets, the word Bohemian, and Sacre Coeur all came to life in Paris in the years prior to World War I. The mythical age known as the Belle Epoque in the years from 1870-1914 still lives in the imagination of the Western World. Join me in discussion with Professor Rapport as we describe these tumultuous creative years in the decades leading up to the tragedy of the Twentieth Century European Wars.
