Sacre bleu. And green. And red: French towns and landmarks are captured in pioneering colorised imag

• Images capture France as it was 120 years ago during La Belle Epoch, before it was crippled by two world wars

• Photographs show Nice and Brittany in the process of transforming into the tourist attractions we know today

• Paris can be seen during the 1900s world's fair which debuted invetions such as diesel engines and escalators

• Pictures created using Photchrom process, which involves using dyed limstone tables to colour photographs

I see this being done with more and more old photos.Really fascinating to see it like this.
