Paris, how is a two-thousand-year-old city born?
how did a city like Paris, now so emblematic, find itself on the verge of agony and had to reinvent itself to survive?
​
In 2000 years of history, our city of lights, born in Antiquity, has seen its face transformed and today retains in its stone monuments the stigmata of these great eras. And this stone speaks to us! It tells us an incredible story where women and men saw their city grow and transform into an open-air theater where their most terrible tragedies and their most beautiful victories will be played out.
