From Eric's collection comes this gem: A colorized photograph of the Café de la Paix at the very beginning of the 20th century... The Café de la Paix opened June 30, 1862, to serve the Grand-Hôtel de la Paix (named after the nearby rue de la Paix), whose name was later shortened to Grand-Hôtel. It serviced visitors of the Universal Expo exhibition in 1867. Its proximity to the Palais Garnier (the current Paris Opéra House) attracted many famous clients, including Jules Massenet (a French composer), Émile Zola, and Guy de Maupassant (both famous French writers).
