I love the bit with the fire engines.

It is fascinating and lovely. The moving walkway , one moving a bit faster than the other,is found in SF books , but there it is,a hundred and thirty years ago

I love the bit where the kid was nudged aside with an umbrella.
And yes, the amazing moving walkway! I had no idea such a thing existed in those days.

I love the bit where the kid was nudged aside with an umbrella.

I can just hear the photographer. "Oi, méchant ! Allez, bouge-toi!

The moving walkway, alas, was not a permanent feature - it was part of the 1900 Paris World's Fair, and was presumably dismantled afterwards.

I love these glimpses into yesteryear. The moving walkway was cool. I did find myself wondering about young boys playing with the boats on the lake and how many of them survived the trenches 14 years later. A strange morbid thought to end up at after viewing the clip.

Fantastic.

Amazing. Like traveling through time. Will someone hurry up and create a time machine please!
