Our friend Luc Piché sent us this slideshow from the Paris City Hall, REAL COLOR PHOTOS of early century Paris, a color process called Autochrome and involving potato derived dies. Those are truly amazing, revealing a Paris that only writers and painters had captured in color. Luc was rewarded by finding his own grandfather with US troops at the Paris liberation, having a beer in a café (last slide). Check this out here
