Paris in 1925 was the vibrant heart of the Années Folles, a dazzling era of art, music, and innovation. The city pulsed with jazz clubs, avant-garde painters, and writers pushing the limits of creativity. During the International Exhibition of Modern Decorative and Industrial Arts, the world was introduced to the bold elegance of what would later be known as art deco. Rising proudly above it all stood the Eiffel Tower, unchanged yet ever modern, a shining beacon of progress and elegance that drew visitors from across the globe.
