Скачать или смотреть The origin of Paris - from ancient roots to global fame

How did Paris become one of the most romantic and culturally influential cities in the world? 🌍
In this cinematic short documentary, discover the true origin of Paris — a city that evolved from a small island settlement into a global icon of art, history, and beauty.

More than 2,000 years ago, the area we now call Paris was home to a Celtic tribe known as the Parisii, who settled along the banks of the Seine River on the Île de la Cité. Their strategic location made the settlement a natural center for trade and communication.

Around 52 BC, Roman forces arrived and transformed the settlement into a structured city called Lutetia. Stone roads, bridges, markets, and public spaces turned Paris into an important Roman hub of commerce and culture.

As centuries passed, Paris continued to grow and transform. During the medieval era, iconic landmarks such as Notre-Dame Cathedral rose above the city, symbolizing religious power and architectural innovation. The city became the heart of the French monarchy, shaping politics, culture, and identity.

Paris also witnessed revolutions that changed not only France but the world itself. From royal rule to revolutionary movements, the city reinvented itself time and time again. Wide boulevards replaced medieval streets, and Paris emerged as a center of art, philosophy, and creativity.
