Here is a visit of Paris in 1920. It is frankly astounding how little has changed in in a hundred years "Haussmann Paris." Maybe fewer hats now.

Wow. Someone from that time, if dropped in today’s central Paris, could still navigate their way around without much of a problem.

That is one of the most remarkable things I've ever seen! Instead of feeling as though the past is being shown to us, it feels as though we are there within their present. I went to the video on youtube to see how they did it. Even after the illusion parts are revealed, it all seems as real as can be. One of the comments below the video says in part, "At the time this was filmed, The Great War had only been over for about 18 months. Most of the young men you see had fought in that war, and you see many military service uniforms in some scenes." This adds a whole level of poignancy to this already astounding glimpse of the past.

Even if you don't speak French, it is mesmerizing to watch the destruction of Paris at the beginning of the 1970s. The woman at the beginning knows that her building will be one of the next to go after living there for 62 years.

Paris is much nicer today.
