black_jotka Re: Belle Époque 01.08.23, 22:41 The Belle Époque or La Belle Époque (French: [bɛlepɔk]; French for "Beautiful Epoch") is a period of French, Belgian and European history, usually considered to begin around 1871–1880 and to end with the outbreak of World War I in 1914. Occurring during the era of the Third French Republic, it was a period characterised by optimism, regional peace, economic prosperity, colonial expansion, and technological, scientific, and cultural innovations. In this era of France's cultural and artistic climate (particularly within Paris), the arts markedly flourished, and numerous masterpieces of literature, music, theatre, and visual art gained extensive recognition.

jutta_t Re: Belle Époque 11.05.25, 20:52 The term "Belle Époque," French for "beautiful age," refers to a period of significant artistic, cultural, and economic development primarily in France, roughly from the end of the Franco-Prussian War (1871) to the start of World War I (1914). It's often associated with a sense of optimism, peace, and prosperity, and is now used nostalgically to describe a time of "the good old days". Odpowiedz Link
