FOOTNOTES:
[A] The pictures have been arranged on a different plan since their
return to the palace after the war.
[B] Part of Rue de Beaubourg, Rue du Renard, and other old streets here
are soon to disappear, their area transformed into a wide new avenue.
[C] Bombs worked havoc here in the last year of the Great War
(1914-1918).
[D] The carting away of these vestiges has, we hear, just been decreed.
[E] On the Peace Fête, July 14th, 1919, the Arènes were arranged
as a theatre, and the performance of a classical play, “Le Cid,”
took place on the spot where wild beasts had fought of yore; while
twentieth-century Frenchmen sat on the very stone seats whereon had sat
Romans and men of primitive Gallic tribes in the earliest days of the
history of Paris and of France.
[F] On July 14th, 1919, the French Army and contingents from the armies
of the Allies, victorious after the dread war which had raged since
August, 1914, passed in triumphal procession beneath the Arch, and
the chains which, since 1871, had barred its passage, were taken away
for good. On November 11th, when the “unknown soldier” was buried in
Westminster Abbey, the “_poilu inconnu_” was laid beneath the Arc de
Triomphe, and is now buried there.
[G] Le comte de Franqueville died in January, 1920.
[H] It was flooded again in 1920.
[I] It was recently demolished to be replaced by a suspension-bridge in
order to leave the river free for navigation.
