French architecture is the best Versailles is a magnificent structure the interior design is beautiful so is the French chateau and napoleons tomb great designer's
The Oxford historian is the highlight of the program , whatever your paying him you should double to get him on more of your programs . He certainly knows his material, when you can comment on what they mean , what they felt or wanted , well you know your stuff and you havn't just read the history , got a degree and retired to teach, he's good.
This is a little nit-picky but the image of London at 29:13 shows the current Houses of Parliament at the Palace of Westminster which were constructed between 1837 and 1860. Napoleon Bonaparte died in 1821. His London woould have looked quite different - Georgian rather than Victorian.
Gosh I love Napoleon.. he was also the one who came up w/the novel idea of street numbering.. even on one side.. odd the other.. Before then houses were given names.. OR they just stick any old number confusing people.. Napoleon had a great nose.. & sharp eyes that never missed a trick..
If Paris can somehow scale down the amount of roads (perhaps taking them underground like some other large cities have done) and adds in some more greenery, it would be a city I would like to live in. As it stands, the air quality was simply too bad during summer. Just two days after it had rained, I already felt like I'd been breathing dust all day when coming back to the hotel. It looks absolutely stunning, though.
This gigantic architectural technology full of details, symmetries, is incompatible with the technological development of the time, in which the means of transport were horses... and today it is impossible to recreate these structures
Indeed. Mainstream indoctrination drips of my screen since this 'doc dement array' began. Its just their tale that we should not question because they are Oxfort graduated historians. ... If you ever have the chance to meet one telling BS about architecture,ask for the architects drawings. I bet they start to stutter. If not, mr smartpants thinks he can fool you by showing a drawing with measurements of the building. ... Such drawings are not useful for the builders at all. ... Napo was busy with conquering the Lowlands and going on to attack Russia. Not sure how many hours his days counted but it is hard to believe he also was spending time with architecture. ..

I guess the roman aqueducts were a better solution than the canals for the transport of clean drinking water. Because they are elevated from the dirt of surface, and they are not shared with boats. Greetings from Buenos Aires 🙂

Another great contibution of Napoleon to Humanity was the Metric System. So bad you ignore that
JUST A MINUTE, Here you tell us that Napoleon the first constructed Rue du Rivoli and the buildings lining it, but a week ago in a different video you told us that Napoleon III and Georges-Eugène Haussmann were responsible for that exact street and the plan and design for the row of buildings ... what ... 50 years later. So which is it?
It's true! This music is intrusive- making SHUNTING ENGINE SOUNDS that go UP UP UP UP and then suddenly halts! Its then normal for several seconds and then forboding music starts --and then sounds like factory doors being slid shut starts again and again..... now its the violins mounting mounting ! Why is it all so LOUD! Pretentious bloody racket! It is a very interesting subject I am interested in but being annoyed by this DIN! (A balanced out usage of this music could be of use -but its so continuously interupting the presenters voices! )
Well this is just my opinion but London may not be as pretty as Paris but architecturally it is far more interesting. It’s also my opinion that there are a number of European cities more beautiful that Paris.
The continental blockade imposed by Napoleon against England and its allies ruined the businesses of my ancestors in Brazil. Until then, Salvador was the richest and most important city in Brazil and the Oliveira Ribeiro family had prospered there for centuries, exporting sugar and importing European products. When they fled to Brazil, the Portuguese royal family stayed in Salvador for a short time and then settled in Rio de Janeiro. The economic axis moved from Salvador to Rio de Janeiro, the new capital and, a few decades later, wealth migrated from there to São Paulo. After the end of the Napoleonic Wars, Salvador never recovered its splendor. And my paternal great-grandfather liquidated what was left of the family assets there and emigrated to São Paulo in the mid-19th century.

Great imitators, the French, copying Egypt, Greece, and Rome. They wouldn't build an original idea until 1887 and the Tour Eiffel-the greatest work in Paris. The Louvre was to be designed by Bernini, instead they built the world's largest bank. As to colossal size these are puny buildings compared to Rome. And all for a reign of 15 years- like Herr Schicklgruber. The French have a love-hate relationship with Napoleon. Born an Italian commoner - he spoke French with an Italian accent his entire life- he brought the French their last taste of military glory, the next 200 years being disasterous. And they were very quick to dump him and get back to monarchy. Their ideas of democracy instead would come to life in America.
Everyone , not only the French copied Rome, Greece, not only the French : that's called neoclassicism, a European-wide movement that started in the 1760's, following the discovery of Pompeii, also as a reaction against the "excesses" of the baroque. Bernini you are mentioning was indeed sent back to his country, because true baroque never caught in France.
The next two hundred years ?.. you seem to be forgetting the victory of the Great War, also , the Bourbons were restored to power by the sixth coalition, not the French people. Bernini's designs were rejected because Louis XIV liked them less than he liked Bernini himself, anyway, last year, 7.8 million people visited the the Louvre, it's the most visited museum in the world so perhaps Louis was right. Lastly, Roman architecture was a copy of both Greek and Etruscan work. Great imitators those Italians.

The man was ahead of his time 💯

he was a true visionary..
first true self made man who became emperor.. not by blood.
Can’t wait to see paris

I would love to take a class led by the Oxford historian. He's very interesting in his presentation.
Thank you for this wonderful documentary. It was very informative. I love Paris and always will 😊

We own him so much!!!
Thanks 🙏

Napoleon was responsible for Rue de Rivoli. Napoleon III was responsible for extending it.
Louis Napoleon finished what his Uncle started in beautifying Paris.
I was as confused as you. The other one was napoleon III
Excellent

Wow
I’ve tried warning the highups now for 2 years
Bonaparte had nothing to do with the civil engineering
Without him, it wouldn’t have happened. It was his vision and political will that made it happen.
❤
First
London is not very inspiring. . Compared to otter European city . Paris is the most beautiful city in the world!!
Well this is just my opinion but London may not be as pretty as Paris but architecturally it is far more interesting. It’s also my opinion that there are a number of European cities more beautiful that Paris.
@gumpy4960 why and how? And which cities?
Oui c est vrai. Mais c'est tout le reste qui ne va pas.

Yes this is all true Napoleon was Corsican which is an island in the Mediterranean ruled by Genoa at that time but then was conquered by France
The next two hundred years ?.. you seem to be forgetting the victory of the Great War, also , the Bourbons were restored to power by the sixth coalition, not the French people. Bernini's designs were rejected because Louis XIV liked them less than he liked Bernini himself, anyway, last year, 7.8 million people visited the the Louvre, it's the most visited museum in the world so perhaps Louis was right.
Lastly, Roman architecture was a copy of both Greek and Etruscan work. Great imitators those Italians.
Genoa sold Corsica to the King of France just before the birth of Napoleon, who was therefore never Italian!
Encore une victime qui est jaloux du plus beau pays du monde, la France 🇫🇷.
On devine vite ta nationalité 😂
