Abstract

Reminiscence is usually sweeter than the actual time lived through at the time. So it is with the “Belle EpoqueBelle Époque”, referring to a specific time in French history, but more generally denoting a sort of Indian Summer of European ascendancy in cultureCulture, society and economy. Starting in 1870 (1880, 1890 and even 1900 are alternative initial demarcations), it ended definitively in 1914 with the start of the First World WarFirst World War. It was a far from easy time to live through. But in comparison to the horrors of World War, it appeared as a veritable heaven.
