Streets of Present Venice in Past Paris
Dive into a watery world where Paris isn’t known for its romantic strolls but rather for its boating adventures. This was 1910, and the iconic Rue de Lyon wasn’t bustling with pedestrians but bobbing boats! The Great Flood has transformed Paris, submerging one in every four buildings.
Over 150,000 locals face the deluge, while another 200,000 from the flooded suburbs seek refuge in the heart of the city. Makeshift footbridges and boats become the lifelines as Parisians, ever resilient, navigate their beloved city in a way they’d never imagined. In this submerged spectacle, the spirit of Paris shines brighter than ever.
