Belle Époque - The Belle Époque is a period of European social history that began at the end of the 19th century and lasted until the First World War. Occurring during the era of the French Third Republic and the German Empire, the "Belle Époque" was named retrospectively, when it began to be regarded as a "golden age." The great European powers and 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 dubbed the Gilded Age. In the United Kingdom, this period overlaps 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 and new technologies improved life, and commercial arts adapted Renaissance and 18th-century styles to modern forms.
In the United States, newly wealthy after the Panic of 1873, this comparable era was called the "Gilded Age." In the United Kingdom, this period coincided with the end of the Victorian era and the so-called "Edwardian era."
During 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 trappings of state dinners extended to the upper classes; champagne was perfected during the Belle Époque. Exotic feathers and furs played a more important role than ever in fashion, with haute couture being 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 achieved new splendor and prestige by becoming parade grounds for the wealthy, and the Opéra Garnier devoted immense 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 carriages, exclusivity being the mark of opulent luxury. The bohemian lifestyle acquired a different glamour, practiced in the cabarets of Montmartre.
