Description:

In this special history episode of French Connections Plus, we take a deep dive into "la Belle Époque" or "The Beautiful Era", a period in France history straddling the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century. It was a moment of peace and prosperity, technological progress, bubbling creativity and hope in the future. The period also saw deep societal change that laid the foundations of modern-day France. But there was a darker side to "la Belle Époque", as it was marked by great inequality and imperialism. This begs the question: was it really such a beautiful era? We take a closer look.
