It’s time to get our time machine working! Thanks to Grez Productions’ superb 3D reconstructions, we can take a 3-minute plunge into the heart of the medieval capital. Between the 12th and 16th centuries, when Paris was the most important city in the West, the entire face of the future City of Light was different, from facades to monuments to bridges. So if you want to discover the Paris of yesteryear, this nugget is a must-see!
Dive into medieval Paris with this crazy video
Whether it’s asnapshot of Old Paris, a historical map or a film of the Roaring Twenties, there are many ways to immerse yourself in the Paris of yesteryear, thanks to today’s technologies and the treasures they’ve unearthed. But today, it’s a 3D reconstruction video that caught our eye, from Grez Productions, offering us a bird’s-eye view of the capital in medieval times, lasting over 3 minutes.
Before the great transformations of the Renaissance, the city looked very different. With its cobbled streets, ancient monuments and bridge dwellings, the city has all the hallmarks of a medieval town, and we’re transported by this attractive 3D flyover. Those with a keen eye will notice the Petit Châtelet, the Louvre château fort, the bell tower of Saint-Germain-des-Prés church and even the painted facade of Notre Dame cathedral.
A sublime result, to be enjoyed without moderation. We salute the incredible meticulous work of Grez Productions, between historical research and faithful 3D reconstruction. On the site, you’ll find several of these films, showcasing the capital in all its eras – and more! You’ll also find a focus on other monuments and wonders from around the world.
