In Paris, on April 15th, 1900, begins the biggest celebration ever put together in the world.

Gigantic buildings are erected in record time. A hundred and twenty years later, some are still among the most beautiful monuments of the capital.

Through exceptional footage in the form of the very first audio-visual archives, computer-generated imagery, and analyses by the greatest experts, dive into the gigantic worksites that shaped the City of Light. Welcome to Paris in 1900.
