Trip back to 1940s Paris

Trip back to 1940s Paris

Whether it be with thousands of tourists queuing or soldiers parading in victory or defeat, Paris's most iconic landmarks are as recognisable today as they were when the city was war torn.

A clever collection of composite images by French art director Julien Knez brings together scenes from 1940s Paris with peaceful pictures of the city we visit now.

September this year marked 70 years since the end of the Second World War, following last year's milestone marking the anniversary of the Liberation of Paris from Nazi occupation in August 1944.
