On The Left Chapter we have looked at vintage photography of some of the world's most famous cities before in posts like Warsaw 1972 - Vintage Streetscapes and Other Photos and 26 Incredibly Evocative Photos of 1956 Soviet Moscow.
Today we are journeying to the truly photogenic and romantic French capital Paris with some streetscapes and city scenes from 1973. Many of the locales featured need no introduction, from the Eiffel Tower to Sacre-Coeur to Notre Dame. Taken from a tourist guide to the city, the combination of day, twilight and night shots here help to bring it to life again in the memory of those who have been there or to reflect what it is like for those who have not.
We cannot actually travel to the Paris of the 1970s. Except, of course, through photos like these.
