Archaeologists found the first artifacts of Paris habitation on the right bank of the Seine (nowadays Bercy), which was a strategic spot for maritime transport. Starting there, the narration depicts the evolution of the town into a modest Roman city: Lutèce. Town-planning ambitions led to the expansion of the left bank, the creation of the Cardo (Nowadays rue Saint-Jacques) and the building of the forum and the thermal baths. At a later stage, the decline of the Roman Empire allowed Christians to take control of the city. The Saint-Geneviève Church and the Saint-Apôtres monastery illustrate this revival.

We now focus on the Period leading to the current Paris, especially the beginning of the 20th century which witnessed the genius of many architects and scientists. Gustave Eiffel just completed his masterpiece, the great tower. Local population was moving around by a new kind of train: the “Métropolitain”. Intellectuals and artists came massively to the capital, making it their home. From Montparnasse to Saint- Germain-des-Prés through Montmartre, the City of Lights was at the top of creation, diversity and exchange. Despite the two wars, Paris rose from the ashes. The second half of the 20th Century was also action-packed with the raising of new monuments.
