Between the middle of the 19th and the middle of the 20th centuries, Bucharest's urban life was heavily influenced by French culture. It was a time when young male generations were traveling to Paris to study and returning with a great desire to alter the way society was at the time. As a result, the local aristocracy promoted an overall French-like lifestyle that attempted to simply reverse the previous Eastern trends. French architects were hired to help with urban development; restaurant menus included French terms; numerous diaries from that era are in French; and French artists frequently visited Bucharest. French manners and lifestyle also contributed to French-inspired fashion. Our guided tour of Bucharest will introduce you to the atmosphere of this little Paris. You will know all the little secrets of the capital of Romania.
