Missing Paris! Old & New

____

Saw a really awesome post at Messy Nessy about Charles Marville, an awesome 19th Century photographer that documented the demolition of medieval Paris in the mid 1850's Baron Haussmann.

Since reading about this, I was doing a little online research and did find some fascinating shots.

Decided to create this post with some old Paris photographs and some shots from our multiple trips to the City of Light:

L'église Saint-Eustache in 1880
John and Lulu in one side of the Eglise de Saint Eustache

The many, many windmills in Montmartre in the 1850's

One of the very few (I believe one of the last two) windmills left. We've had an unforgettable dinner under one of them



An early Lumiere Autochrome from the famous Moulin Rouge (early 20th century)

La Belle Lulu (haha) and the Moulin Rouge in the 21st Century



First known picture of the Notre Dame in 1843
