A Walk in the Woods - | Bois de Boulogne Paris 4K 60fps

Time travel back 120 years for a leisurely stroll in the Bois de Boulogne Paris circa 1902. The Paris woodland and park was a fashionable promenade for Parisians of all classes during the belle epoch. This film is a window to the past at the turn of the 20th century. City streets were still dominated by the horse & carriage. However we see In the opening frames, an early French automobile - a De Dion Bouton. It scoots past the Porte Dauphine entrance to the Bois de Boulogne. These early cars were heralding in a noisier, faster and more polluted planet of the future. 1900s fashion still sees the long tails on ladies skirts. They required hoisting while moving. The ubiquitous walking skirt was only round the corner. Women wore large ’picture hats’. Decorated by ribbons and flowers, a new hat was a way to a woman’s heart in those days.
