The focus will move from the narrow cobbled streets of the medieval period to the glittering salons of the 18th- century Enlightenment; from the great boulevards of Baron de Haussman to the pleasure palaces of the fin de siècle; from the intellectual and revolutionary hothouse of the 1950s and the 1960s to the multicultural crucible that it is today.
