Episode Synopsis
Send us a textParis, 1900. The city glows with electric light. Jazz drips from gramophones. The Moulin Rouge spins like a carousel possessed. In the cafés of Montmartre, Picasso sketches with fevered hands. Toulouse-Lautrec drinks, draws, and watches the night unravel.It is an age of opulence and illusion. Gilded carriages and motorcars jostle on cobbled streets. Art Nouveau winds its way through every iron gate, every whispered conversation.But beneath the beauty, the city is cracking.Bombs explode in cafés. Anarchists lurk in shadowed rooms. The ghosts of the Paris Commune haven’t left—they’re just quieter now. Revolution lingers like smoke in the air.La Belle Époque. A time of elegance, excess—and unease. The world is dancing, blindfolded, toward the abyss.Welcome to Paris, on the edge of the modern world.referred Links:La Belle ÉpoqueSupport the showFor books written and published by Keith Hocton www.entrepotpublishing.com
