19th Century Photographs Of Paris With Hidden Backstories

strange and forgotten world around the Eiffel Tower during the old Paris World Fairs. Using some of the oldest photographs ever taken, we look at three massive buildings that once stood proudly beside the tower—yet today, they’ve completely disappeared. We break down what they looked like, what they were used for, and why their history is so confusing. From the stunning Palace of Fine Arts, to the gigantic Palace of Machinery, to the unbelievable glowing Palace of Electricity, this video dives into the mysteries, the missing architecture, and the questions people still have. It’s a simple, eye-opening journey through lost Paris.
