Nobody Sits Like The French: The Paris World Fair Story
Thursday July 3rd, at 12:00 EST
Paris bears the physical memory of seven World Expos, from 1855 to 1937, which gave us the Eiffel Tower, Musée d’Orsay, and the Grand and Petit Palais. But did you know that your suitcase today is an evolution of the trunk Louis Vuitton won a gold medal with at Paris’ Exposition Universelle in 1867? Or that the typical Parisian bistro chairs were also born from these fairs? Join us for an engaging online talk with Charles Pappas, acclaimed author and renowned expert on World’s Fairs, as he presents his latest book “Nobody Sits Like the French“. In this fascinating work, Pappas brings to life how the fairs transformed the city’s architecture, culture, and daily life.
We will be giving away a copy of the book during the event, courtesy of Luster Publishing. Don’t miss it!
