The Place de la Concorde is one of the major public squares in Paris, France. Measuring 8.64 hectares (21.3 acres) in area. The place was designed by Ange-Jacques Gabriel in 1755 as a moat-skirted octagon between the Champs-Élysées to the west and the Tuileries Garden to the east. Decorated with statues and fountains, the area was named Place Louis XV to honor the king at that time. The square showcased an equestrian statue of the king, which had been commissioned in 1748 by the city of Paris, sculpted mostly by Edmé Bouchardon, and completed by Jean-Baptiste Pigalle after the death of Bouchardon.
At the north end, two magnificent identical stone buildings were constructed. Separated by the rue Royale, these structures remain among the best examples of Louis Quinze style architecture. Initially, the eastern building served as the French Naval Ministry. Shortly after its construction, the western building became the opulent home of the Duc d'Aumont. It was later purchased by the Comte de Crillon, whose family resided there until 1907. The famous luxury Hôtel de Crillon, which currently occupies the building, took its name from its previous owners. More on The Place de la Concorde

Louis Valtat was born in Dieppe on 8 August, 1869. He studied at le Lycée Hoche in Versailles where his parents lived. In 1886, when he was 17 years old, he applied for admission at the Ecole des Beaux Arts and completed his training at the Académie Julian where he made friends with Albert André and Pierre Bonnard.
In 1890, he won the Jauvin d’Attainville prize; he then set up his workshop at rue de La Glacière in Paris. In 1893, he took part in the Salon des Artistes Indépendants for the first time. His paintings covered one main theme: the life in the neighbouring streets. By the end of 1894, he achieved a scenery for the theater “l’Oeuvre” in collaboration with Toulouse Lautrec and with Albert André’s help at Lugné Poë’s request. Simultaneously, his engravings and paintings were exhibited at the Salon des Cent.
Valtat was suffering from pulmonary consumption, he often went to Banyuls for treatment where he met George-Daniel de Monfreid, who introduced him to Aristide Maillol. He went on several trips to Spain. Since the winter 1897-8, he used to spend the winter season in Agay, a small fishing village close to Saint Raphaël and, later on, in Anthéor, a few kilometers away. He was accompanied by Suzanne whom he married in 1900.
Valtat with his wife would live in his parents’ house in Versailles when they were not in Anthéor or in Normandy. However, in 1905, they moved to la Butte Montmartre, and in 1914 he moved close to l’Arc de Triomphe and to the Bois de Boulogne whose lakes very often appeared in his work.
In 1914, Louis Valtat stopped travelling to Antheor. going. In 1924, after 10 years of being deprived the pleasure of a garden, he bought a house in Choisel, a small village in the Chevreuse valley. He spent the major part of the year in that place.
By the time, he had received official recognition and was made chevalier of the Legion d’Honneur in 1927; at the 1951 exhibition on the Fauvism, which took place at the Modern Art National Museum in Paris, six of his paintings were shown among which no. 116, entitled “Arbres”. Since then, this painting seems to have gone a strange way.
After the 1940 exodus and the following years’ occupation, Louis Valtat had serious problems with his eyes (glaucoma) and seldom left his workshop located at l’avenue de Wagram, where he realized his last paintings dated 1948. More on Louis ValtatMore

The pont National (named pont Napoléon-III from its construction until 1870) is a road and rail bridge across the Seine in Paris. It was built between 1852 and 1853 as a railway bridge (to allow the Petite Ceinture line to cross the river) and to link the "enceintes" on the two sides of the river. Its architects were E. Couche, Petit, Gaspard, and Netter. Its width was doubled with an addition on the upstream side in 1936. More on The pont National
Paul Signac, (born Nov. 11, 1863,
Paris, France—died Aug. 15, 1935, Paris) French painter who, with
Georges Seurat, developed the technique called pointillism.
When he was 18, Signac gave up the study of architecture for
painting and, through Armand Guillaumin, became a convert to the colouristic
principles of Impressionism. In 1884 Signac helped found the Salon des
Indépendants. There he met Seurat, whom he initiated into the broken-colour
technique of Impressionism. The two went on to develop the method they called
pointillism, which became the basis of Neo-Impressionism. They continued to
apply pigment in minute dabs of pure colour, as had the Impressionists, but
they adopted an exact, almost scientific system of applying the dots, instead
of the somewhat intuitive application of the earlier masters. In watercolours
Signac used the principle in a much freer manner. After 1886 he took part
regularly in the annual Salon des Indépendants, to which he sent landscapes,
seascapes, and decorative panels. Being a sailor, Signac traveled widely along
the European coast, painting the landscapes he encountered. In his later years
he painted scenes of Paris, Viviers, and other French cities.
Signac produced much critical writing and was the
author of From Eugène Delacroix to Neo-Impressionism (1899) and Jongkind
(1927). The former book is an exposition of pointillism, while the latter is an
insightful treatise on watercolour painting. More on Paul Signac

Notre-Dame de Paris is a medieval Catholic cathedral on the Île de la Cité in the fourth arrondissement of Paris. The cathedral is widely considered to be one of the finest examples of French Gothic architecture, and is among the largest and most well-known church buildings in the world. The naturalism of its sculptures and stained glass are in contrast with earlier Romanesque architecture.
As the cathedral of the Archdiocese of Paris, Notre-Dame contains the cathedra of the Archbishop of Paris. The cathedral treasury contains a reliquary which houses some of Catholicism's most important relics, including the purported Crown of Thorns, a fragment of the True Cross, and one of the Holy Nails.
In the 1790s, Notre-Dame suffered desecration in the radical phase of the French Revolution when much of its religious imagery was damaged or destroyed. An extensive restoration supervised by Eugène Viollet-le-Duc began in 1845. A project of further restoration and maintenance began in 1991. More on Notre-Dame de Paris

The Moulin de la Galette is a windmill and associated businesses situated near the top of the district of Montmartre in Paris. Since the 17th century the windmill has been known for more than just its milling capabilities. Nineteenth-century owners and millers, the Debray family, made a brown bread, galette, which became popular and thus the name of the windmill and its businesses, which have included a famous guinguette and restaurant. In the 19th century, Le Moulin de la Galette, represented diversion for Parisians seeking entertainment, a glass of wine and bread made from flour ground by the windmill. Artists, such as Renoir, van Gogh, and Pissarro have immortalized Le Moulin de la Galette; likely the most notable was Renoir's festive painting, Bal du moulin de la Galette (below).

Edouard Léon Cortès
(1882–1969) was a French post-impressionist artist of French and Spanish
ancestry. He is known as "Le Poete Parisien de la Peinture" or
"the Parisian Poet of Painting" because of his diverse Paris
cityscapes in a variety of weather and night settings.
Cortes was born on August 8, 1882, in
Lagny-sur-Marne, about twenty miles east of Paris. His father, Antonio Cortès,
had been a painter for the Spanish Royal Court.
At the age of 17, Edouard began his studies at the
École des Beaux-Arts in Paris. His first exhibition in 1901 brought him
immediate recognition. Cortès stressed his independence. Once, in responding to
a journalist who asked if he was a student of Luigi Loir, he replied in pun:
"No, a student of myself only."
life he was awarded the prestigious Prix
Antoine-Quinson from the Salon de Vincennes
In 1914 Cortès married Fernande Joyeuse, with whom he
had a daughter in 1916.
Although Cortès was a pacifist, when war came close
to his native village he was compelled to enlist in a French Infantry Regiment
at the age of 32. As a contact agent Cortès was wounded by a bayonet, evacuated
to a military hospital, and awarded the Croix de Guerre. After recovery he was
the reassigned to utilize his artistic talent to sketch enemy positions. Later
in life his convictions led him to refuse the Légion d'Honneur from the French
Government. In 1919 he was demobilized.
His wife had died in 1918 and he soon married his
sister-in-law Lucienne Joyeuse.
Cortès lived a simple life amid a close
circle of friends. He died on November 28, 1969, in Lagny, and has a street
named in his honor. More on Edouard Léon Cortès

artist who was a leading painter in the development of the Impressionist style.
As a celebrator of beauty, and especially feminine sensuality, it has been said
that "Renoir is the final representative of a tradition which runs directly
from Rubens to Watteau."
He was the father of actor Pierre Renoir (1885–1952),
filmmaker Jean Renoir (1894–1979) and ceramic artist Claude Renoir (1901–69).

Eugène Galien-Laloue (1854–1941) was a French
artist of French-Italian parents and was born in Paris on December 11, 1854. He
was a populariser of street scenes, usually painted in autumn or winter. His
paintings of the early 1900s accurately represent the era in which he lived: a
happy, bustling Paris, la Belle Époque, with horse-drawn carriages, trolley
cars and its first omnibuses. Galien-Laloue's works are valued not only for
their contribution to 20th-century art, but for the actual history, which they
document. His work can be seen at the Musée des Beaux-Arts, Louvier; Musée des
Beaux-Arts, La Rochelle; Mulhouse, France.
A typical Galien-Laloue painting depicts
sidewalks and avenues crowded with people or tourists mingling before the
capital's monuments. He also painted the landscapes of Normandy and
Seine-et-Marne, as well as military scenes he was commissioned to produce in
1914. The Republic of France selected Galien-Laloue to work as a 'war artist,'
both during the Franco-Prussian War and World War I, chiefly in watercolor. More on Eugène Galien-Laloue

Inspired by the work of Braque and Picasso, Dufy created watercolors that expressed a heightened understanding of color and light. In the mid-1920s, Jean Dufy became captivated by the music of the time, such as Darius Millaud and Francis Poulenc, and incorporated this interest into his artwork. While depicting orchestral and musical subjects, Dufy later became enchanted by the coast of Northern France and began to create majestic and effecting landscapes. Throughout the 1950s Dufy explored Western Europe and North America, but inevitably returned to his watercolors and oils of Paris. Just two months after the death of his wife, Ismérie, Jean Dufy died in 1964 in La Boissiere. More on Jean Dufy

The Île de la Cité is one of two remaining natural islands in the Seine within the city of Paris. It is the centre of Paris and the location where the medieval city was refounded.
The western end has held a palace since Merovingian times, and its eastern end since the same period has been consecrated to religion, especially after the 10th century construction of a cathedral preceding today's Notre Dame. The land between the two was, until the 1850s, largely residential and commercial, but has since been filled by the city's Prefecture de Police, Palais de Justice, Hôtel-Dieu hospital and Tribunal de commerce. Only the westernmost and northeastern extremities of the island remain residential today, and the latter preserves some vestiges of its 16th-century canon's houses. The Mémorial des Martyrs de la Déportation, a memorial to the 200,000 people deported from Vichy France to the Nazi concentration camps during the Second World War, is located at the upriver end of the island.

Antoine Blanchard is the pseudonym
under which the French painter Marcel Masson (15 November 1910 – 1988)
painted his immensely popular Parisian street scenes. He was born in a small
village near the banks of the Loire.
Blanchard received his initial artistic training at the Beaux-Arts
in Rennes, Brittany. He then moved to Paris in 1932 where he joined the Ecole
des Beaux-Arts. He won the Prix de Rome.
Like Édouard Cortès (1882–1969) and Eugène Galien-Laloue
(1854–1941), Antoine Blanchard essentially painted Paris and the Parisians in
bygone days, often from vintage postcards. The artist began painting his Paris
street scenes in the late 1950s, and like Cortès, often painted the same Paris
landmark many times, in different weather conditions or various seasons. The
most recurrent topics were views of the capital city in cloudy or rainy days,
showing streets busy with pedestrians in a rush to go home, and bright
storefronts reflecting on wet streets.

Moulin Rouge, (French for "Red Mill") is a cabaret in Paris. The original house, which burned down in 1915, was co-founded in 1889 by Charles Zidler and Joseph Oller, who also owned the Paris Olympia. Close to Montmartre in the Paris district of Pigalle on Boulevard de Clichy in the 18th arrondissement, it is marked by the red windmill on its roof.
Moulin Rouge is best known as the spiritual birthplace of the modern form of the can-can dance. Originally introduced as a seductive dance by the courtesans who operated from the site, the can-can dance revue evolved into a form of entertainment of its own and led to the introduction of cabarets across Europe. Today, the Moulin Rouge is a tourist attraction, offering musical dance entertainment for visitors from around the world. The club's decor still contains much of the romance of fin de siècle France.
