These Gorgeous Structures Were Built Alongside the Seine for The 1990 World Exhibition
Did you know that the 1900 World Expo brought over 48 million visitors to Paris for the Quai des Nations? The event displayed buildings that represented various countries from all over the globe. The buildings were beautiful, though they were demolished not long after the exhibition finished. When you see what the area now looks like, you’ll have a hard time believing it’s the same place!
The Quai des Nations Was Demolished After the Exhibition Ended
We bet you would think we were pulling your leg if the Eiffel Tower didn’t feature in both pictures! Yup, it is the same spot along the Seine. They were beautiful structures, though they had to be demolished since they were made with cheap materials. The Passerelle Debilly, along with the Eiffel Tower, is the only monument that remains standing from the 1900 World Exposition.
