Paris

Sidewalk cafes, shops along the Rue de la Paix and a Parisian-style restaurant carry out the theme of this pavilion: joie de vivre. Flags of the French provinces fly from the walls of the white, blue and gold building. Within the privately sponsored pavilion are many aspects of contemporary France: the arts; industry; scientific research; tourism. In a simulated wine cellar, visitors may, for a fee, compare French wines under the direction of a master wine steward.

The Pavilion of Paris is seen here to the left of the Astral Fountain. It was originally to be known as the France Pavilion but was renamed shortly before the Fair opened. (CD20 Set 105 #57)
Mannequins demonstrate the Can-Can, a dance once considered so daring it was illegal to perform. (CD18 Set 93 #12)
