Paradoxically, however, one of its most successful attractions proved to be Le Vieux Paris, a picturesque model city built along the Seine to 'bring Old Paris back to life'. Designer Albert Robida chose not only to create a picturesque and entertaining model of life in old France, but to construct the exhibit as a locus of cultural memory. In it he glorified French accomplishments, while attempting to redress his contemporaries' neglect of their shared architectural and literary heritage. Using the popular exhibit as a device for celebrating national achievement, he inspired widespread appreciation of French heritage, thereby invigorating a nascent conservation moment. The Paris World's Fair of 1900 drew nearly 51 million visitors from around the world; they came to admire the city, its culture and the technology on display. Organizers described it as 'the resume of the work of this century that towers above all by the enormous progress realized in the domain of industry'. Paradoxically, however, one of the Fair's most successful attractions--and third top-grossing display--appeared to be as far removed from modern innovation as possible: it was a miniature city--Le Vieux Paris--built along the right bank of the Seine. Its objective was to bring the Paris of the past back to life. Promoted as a 'picturesque' and 'quaint' exhibit, the Fair's organizers intended Le Vieux Paris primarily as a commercial attraction. The city's designer Albert Robida went beyond this initial conception, however, turning the exhibit into a tribute to French architecture of the past; he cleverly used his popular display to validate old monuments in the public eye.
