Travaux nocturnes des constructions de la rue de Rivoli, éclairés par la lumière électrique

The rue de Rivoli was named after one of Napoleon's early victories. The street was an important project in Haussmann's city planning enterprise, and he started working on it in the first years of the Second Empire. He extended it dramatically, and transformed it into one of the most important axis of the new Paris.
