The building standing on No. 14 Boulevard des Capucines is one of the most unknown historic places in Paris.

The 'Café Lumière', a quite standardized hotel restaurant. Unfortunately the designers didn't manage to fully focus on the history of the place. A photo of the Lumière brothers hanging above the fake fireplace and some B&W pictures scattered through the rooms are somewhat cheaply done...

Nevertheless, if you pass this corner near Opera Garnier, oh Parisian traveler, remember 'ye olde tymes', and think about how far the movie industry has come since those early days!
