The floral winter garden has never ceased to enchant us. It is there like a sweet way to pass the cold seasons. A parenthesis in time. The period of the Second Empire opens in France an era of prosperity and transformations in many areas. Paris, capital of fashion, is becoming a point of attraction for the whole of Europe. The Imperial Festival attracts the financial and intellectual elite. Luxury shops, department stores, theatres, large hotels and restaurants are developing; it was during this brilliant period that the first horticultural greenhouses in iron and glass frames were built there and the Champs-Elysées inaugurated their first winter garden.
