Bonaparte had nothing to do with the civil engineering

Excellent

Thanks 🙏

Great imitators, the French, copying Egypt, Greece, and Rome. They wouldn't build an original idea until 1887 and the Tour Eiffel-the greatest work in Paris. The Louvre was to be designed by Bernini, instead they built the world's largest bank. As to colossal size these are puny buildings compared to Rome. And all for a reign of 15 years- like Herr Schicklgruber. The French have a love-hate relationship with Napoleon. Born an Italian commoner - he spoke French with an Italian accent his entire life- he brought the French their last taste of military glory, the next 200 years being disasterous. And they were very quick to dump him and get back to monarchy. Their ideas of democracy instead would come to life in America.

This gigantic architectural technology full of details, symmetries, is incompatible with the technological development of the time, in which the means of transport were horses... and today it is impossible to recreate these structures

The m7sic is stupidly epic - sound design is a thing! Save the overwrought stuff for the conclusion dude.

French architecture is the best Versailles is a magnificent structure the interior design is beautiful so is the French chateau and napoleons tomb great designer's

Another great contibution of Napoleon to Humanity was the Metric System. So bad you ignore that

its like listening to two different people talk at the same time but one of them speaks a different lang. wait that's exactly what it is and it SUCKS.

JUST A MINUTE,
Here you tell us that Napoleon the first constructed Rue du Rivoli and the buildings lining it, but a week ago in a different video you told us that Napoleon III and Georges-Eugène Haussmann were responsible for that exact street and the plan and design for the row of buildings ... what ... 50 years later. So which is it?

I would love to take a class led by the Oxford historian. He's very interesting in his presentation.

Don't expend your❤ <devill toxic > = all devill shape

Gothic ( animals sexuallty)= devill devill devill = all distroy distroy distroy ❤❤❤ from big universe gods

The Oxford historian is the highlight of the program , whatever your paying him you should double to get him on more of your programs . He certainly knows his material, when you can comment on what they mean , what they felt or wanted , well you know your stuff and you havn't just read the history , got a degree and retired to teach, he's good.

It's true! This music is intrusive- making SHUNTING ENGINE SOUNDS that go UP UP UP UP and then suddenly halts! Its then normal for several seconds and then forboding music starts --and then sounds like factory doors being slid shut starts again and again..... now its the violins mounting mounting ! Why is it all so LOUD! Pretentious bloody racket! It is a very interesting subject I am interested in but being annoyed by this DIN! (A balanced out usage of this music could be of use -but its so continuously interupting the presenters voices! )

Modernization = forced movement of poor people. They do this all the time. It's the cost of living 'crisis'.

London is not very inspiring. . Compared to otter European city . Paris is the most beautiful city in the world!!

The continental blockade imposed by Napoleon against England and its allies ruined the businesses of my ancestors in Brazil. Until then, Salvador was the richest and most important city in Brazil and the Oliveira Ribeiro family had prospered there for centuries, exporting sugar and importing European products. When they fled to Brazil, the Portuguese royal family stayed in Salvador for a short time and then settled in Rio de Janeiro. The economic axis moved from Salvador to Rio de Janeiro, the new capital and, a few decades later, wealth migrated from there to São Paulo. After the end of the Napoleonic Wars, Salvador never recovered its splendor. And my paternal great-grandfather liquidated what was left of the family assets there and emigrated to São Paulo in the mid-19th century.

I guess the roman aqueducts were a better solution than the canals for the transport of clean drinking water.
Because they are elevated from the dirt of surface, and they are not shared with boats.
Greetings from Buenos Aires 🙂

Thank you for this wonderful documentary. It was very informative. I love Paris and always will 😊

Gosh I love Napoleon.. he was also the one who came up w/the novel idea of street numbering.. even on one side.. odd the other.. Before then houses were given names.. OR they just stick any old number confusing people..
Napoleon had a great nose.. & sharp eyes that never missed a trick..

Can’t wait to see paris

If Paris can somehow scale down the amount of roads (perhaps taking them underground like some other large cities have done) and adds in some more greenery, it would be a city I would like to live in. As it stands, the air quality was simply too bad during summer. Just two days after it had rained, I already felt like I'd been breathing dust all day when coming back to the hotel. It looks absolutely stunning, though.

Wow

I’ve tried warning the highups now for 2 years
