Check out this beautiful footage of Paris. It’s slowed down to match the speed of modern footage. Here’s how Guy Jones, the videographer who edited the film, describes it…
“A collection of high quality remastered prints from the dawn of film taken in Belle Époque-era Paris, France from 1896-1900. Slowed down footage to a natural rate and added in sound for ambiance. These films were taken by the Lumière company.”
Here’s what can be seen in the film:
0:08 – Notre-Dame Cathedral (1896)
