Paris Street Relics Part 2 | Hidden Traces of Old Paris

A second collection of traces left behind in the streets of Paris — some small, some large. In this video I look at old flood markers, wooden street paving, medieval walls, historic buildings, commemorative plaques and other fragments of the city’s past that can still be seen today.
