France at the Turn of the Century pays tribute to the joie de vivre of the Belle Époque, a time of prosperity and progress in France following the conflicts of the 19th century. This book explores this period of artistic, industrial, technological, and cultural growth through approximately 800 vintage photographs, postcards, posters, and photochromes from the archives of Marc Walter and Photovintagefrance. These images, restored using photochrome technology, reveal France in all its splendor, from Mont Saint-Michel to the French Riviera.

With an introduction, six essays, and commentary by Sabine Arqué, the book offers a detailed and moving portrait of France at the beginning of the 20th century, celebrating the beauty, culture, and romance of the era before the chaos of the First World War. Available in English, French, and German.
