The Edouard VII Hotel - Anais de Melo

The Edouard VII Hotel

The 19th century was synonymous with France’s social decadence. Elegant, extravagant and explosive, the “Belle Époque” was a witness to radical changes in fashion, art, architecture, technology and tourism. Paris was the center of this movement and in a short time became the most popular destination for the jet set of that that era.
