Paris in the 18th century: A time of transformation under the visionary leadership of Georges-Eugène Haussmann. As Johann Sebastian Bach (1685-1750) composed his intricate masterpieces on the organ, Paris was on the brink of its own symphony of change. Haussmann's rebuilding efforts, including the Pont au Change and Boulevard Malesherbes, paved the way for wider, grander streets. The Galeries Lafayette, a modern shopping paradise, now stands in stark contrast to the historic Hotel de Cluny. Eglise de la Trinite, a symbol of Parisian faith, remains a beacon of tranquility amidst the bustling city. Jules Ferry's photo captures the essence of this transformative era, as Paris emerged from the old to embrace the new.
