An Excursion Through Old Paris

12 februari 1914    4mDokumentär, Short
This, the second of a series of the old-world quarters and historical monuments of Paris, should give a good insight into both French national history and the beauties of one of the most famous of the capitals of Europe. The film has an artistic as well as an educational value. The church of St. Eustace, one of the most beautiful in the city, was begun in 1532, and among the celebrities buried there are Colbert, Voiture, Benserade and Vaugelas. The Colonnade of the Louvre was built in the reign of Louis XIV, and the gates of St. Denis (1671) and St. Martin (1674) were both erected in honor of that monarch. In consequence of the rustic appearance of its little houses and gardens, Montmartre Hill has always been the rendezvous of artists, to whom St. Vincent Street and the "Jumping Rabbit" Inn are well known. We also see the Pantheon, where magnificent paintings and statues are housed, and the old street, Berthon à Passy, Balzac's house, etc.
