In 1889, a Danish visitor to Paris remarked that its boulevards were “the great rendezvous where the whole population flocks together to satisfy its great craving for sociability, where people meet with the wish of being together, and associate with the amiable courtesy and easy approach that is a consequence of the consciousness of being mutually entertaining” Richard Kaufmann
The Avenue des Champs-Élysées is an avenue in the 8th arrondissement of Paris,
running between the Place de la Concorde and the Place Charles de Gaulle, where
the Arc de Triomphe is located. It is known for its theatres, cafés, and luxury
shops, for the annual Bastille Day military parade, and as the finish of the
Tour de France cycle race. The name is French for the Elysian Fields, the
paradise for dead heroes in Greek mythology. It is one of the most famous
streets in the world. More on the Champs-Élysées
Jean Béraud (January 12, 1849 – October 4, 1935) was a French painter, noted for his paintings
of Parisian life during the Belle Époque. He was renowned in Paris society due
to his numerous paintings depicting the life of Paris, and the nightlife of
Paris society. He also painted religious subjects in a contemporary setting.
Pictures of the Champs Elysees, cafeés, Montmartre and the banks of the Seine
are precisely detailed illustrations of everyday Parisian era of the
"Belle Époque". More Jean Béraud,
