Belle Époque - The Belle Époque is a period of European social history that began at the end of the 19th century and continued until the First World War. Taking place during the era of the French Third Republic and the German Empire, the “Belle Époque” was named retrospectively, when it began to be considered a “golden age.” The great European powers, new technologies improved life, and commercial arts adapted Renaissance and 18th-century styles to modern forms. In the United States, newly wealthy and emerging from the Panic of 1873, this comparable era was called the Gilded Age. In the United Kingdom, this period overlaps with the end of what is called the Victorian era and the period known as the Edwardian era.

Style specifics
The Belle Époque (in French "Belle Époque") is a period of European social history that began at the end of the 19th century with the Franco-Prussian War (1870-1871) and lasted until the First World War (1914-1918).
Taking place during the era of the French Third Republic and the German Empire, the "Belle Époque" was named retrospectively, when it began to be considered a "golden age": the great European powers, new technologies improved life, and commercial arts adapted Renaissance and 18th-century styles to modern forms.
In the newly wealthy United States, emerging from the Panic of 1873, this comparable era was called the "Gilded Age." In the United Kingdom, this period coincides with the end of the Victorian era and the so-called "Edwardian era."
In the Belle Époque, coal and cheap labor contributed to the cult of the orchid and allowed for the perfection of fruits grown under glass, while the apparatus of state dinners spread to the upper classes; champagne was perfected during the Belle Époque. Exotic feathers and furs played a greater role than ever in fashion, with haute couture invented in Paris, the center of the Belle Époque, where fashion began to evolve according to an annual cycle; in Paris, restaurants like Maxim's reached new splendor and prestige by becoming parade venues for the rich, and the Opéra Garnier dedicated vast spaces to staircases, similar venues for spectacle.
After the middle of the century, railways connected all the major cities of Europe to spa towns like Biarritz and Deauville; their carriages were strictly divided into first and second class, but the wealthiest began to order private cars, exclusivity being the mark of opulent luxury. The bohemian lifestyle acquired a different glamour, practiced in the cabarets of Montmartre.
