The Candelabra Lamp Posts of Paris - known as a ‘Candle tree’.
What an interesting subject.
There’s so many different types of street lights in Paris with a varying number of arms.
First, candelabra with three arms in
Place de l’Opéra, Place Vendôme, in the Grands Boulevards, and where I visited on Saturday ‘the Petit-Palais.’
Some are very plain yet modern, others are old-fashioned and dreamy, fixed on a single pole as a candelabra (a candle tree), and a few are extravagantly ornate.
Back in 1820, when Paris successfully developed a gas street lighting system by engineer Philippe le Bon, it made a strong visual impression to the world, making Paris known as the. “City of lights”.
