- DirectorFlorence TroquereauStarsSophie JovillardLaurent CottaFrédéric DescouturelleFor 30 years, from 1880 to 1914, Paris was the capital of the world. During this flourishing period, a new generation of artists, in search of freedom, arrived from Nancy, Belgium and all over the world, to express their creativity in all fields, from architecture to decorative arts, from jewelry to advertising posters. The Paris of the Belle Epoque was also to shape a mythical figure, the Parisienne, a woman with a chic as simple as she was sophisticated, born from the imagination of painters or under the pencil of couturiers. An era dedicated to all pleasures when night falls, cabarets and music halls come alive and stir up an interloping crowd.
