Discover a unique piece of French history with our vintage photo - "Grand Palais (1909)", captured by the famous photographer Albert Kahn.

A Snapshot of History
The Grand Palais, an emblematic monument of Paris, has been the venue for numerous prestigious exhibitions since its inauguration in 1900 for the Exposition Universelle. This photograph, taken in 1909 by Albert Kahn, a pioneer of color photography, captures a scene from the Great Aviation Week of Champagne. The image showcases impressive hot air balloons suspended under the majestic glass roof of the Grand Palais, with visitors below, awestruck by the technological wonders of the time.
The Eye of Albert Kahn
Albert Kahn (1860-1940) was a French banker and philanthropist passionate about photography and travel. He financed the project "The Archives of the Planet," aimed at documenting the diversity of cultures around the world using the earliest color photography techniques. This image is part of this unique collection, and it perfectly illustrates Kahn's fascination with innovation, modernity, and the ability of humans to dream and push boundaries.
