The magnificent city of Paris captivates people from all over the world with its magic and romance. The capital of France was founded around the end of the 3rd century BC. Today, the city became one of the most popular travel destinations in the world.
While modern-day Paris is astoundingly beautiful, the city has gone through a lot of changes over the past several decades. Photographer Julien Knez attempted to bring Parisian history to life through these amazing photos of old and new Paris combined. These photos show us a window into Paris’ past and reveal how much the historical city has and hasn't changed through the years. The pictures below are a selection from Knez's book, "Paris: Fenêtres sur l'Histoire." Take a look.
