A Day at the Beach 1928 - Biarritz France 1920s | AI Enhanced [60 fps 4k]

- Time travel back to a sunny beach in roaring 20s Biarritz France in 1928. Colorized with added sound, using advanced algorithms and manual techniques.
By the 1920's, the coastal resort of Biarritz on the Côte Basque in France attracted the fashionable and wealthy during the summer and early autumn.
Those who could afford it, stayed at the Hôtel du Palais which was originally a summer villa built for Empress Eugénie. Her visits turned Biarritz into a popular summer resort.
The film starts with clips from a hotel overlooking the beach, then a street fashion show. We then move down to the beach for a walk among the sunbathers and swimmers.
In just a few years over the 1920's, women's swimsuits had evolved considerably when compared to those seen in our recent video "A Day at the Beach c.1921".
The roaring twenties saw seismic changes in clothing, style and social attitudes.

Coco Chanel in Biarritz
Shortly after opening a boutique in Deauville, Gabrielle "Coco" Chanel opened her first couture house in Biarritz.
The embodiment of sartorial elegance herself, Chanel's bobbed hair, streamlined silhouettes in dress and short skirts quickly made her a name in fashion.
Chanel regularly gravitated towards those whom she saw as 'people of influence' and had affairs with some, such as Russian emigrant Grand Duke Dimitri Pavlovitch, who had fled his homeland following the Communist revolution.
Dimitri's own sister Maria would herself come to work as a seamstress for Chanel in her couture house.

These glimpses into the past are just precious. To see real people doing real things almost a hundred years ago is incredible. The clothes and the scenery are lovely.
I know- incredible- something I never thought I’d see in it’s current form, let alone on my little portable computer (cellphone). It’s just amazing when I stop and think about it!

This is incredible. It's like opening a door and walking out to a French beach in the 1920's.
A French beach in the '20s is far more favorable to one in the '40s

Bank sperms only accept donors younger than 30.
Apart from the beautiful scenery, it's very interesting to watch the authentic clothes fashions of the 1920s, as they really were back then rather than the reconstuctions we see in Hollywood movies.

My grandpa was 20 years old when this was taken. He died at 102 years and he was my favorite family member.
My granddad (mom's father) was also 20 years old when this footage was shot. He died at 79 years old back in the 1980s. He was a fun person and is greatly missed.

God Bless Him!!
My wife's Nan was 7 years old when this video was made, and her older sister 9 (turning 103 years old), both still alive and still living in France. The older sister lives in the south of France, and is still independent... It's incredible to see how many changes there have been from that time until this... Easy to romanticise it too of course. She told me she was taken out of school and put to work at 13 to do hard labour in a factory.
One of my family members had just been born in 1928, its pretty cool to see footage back then
That is amazing and wonderful!
I am French, and m'y ancestors certainly didn't have this privilèged life style. My great-grandparents were born in a farm and they had no holidays, just hard work every day.
God bless your nan and her sis!
Happy 103rd birthday to her! She sounds like an amazing person!
I am there! It’s like I’m sitting further up the hill observing. So much fun.
Feel like the camera could pan over Scott and Zelda Fitzgerald at any moment.
when I see footage like this I think of the expressions on the faces of the people ,their thoughts their joys their fears , we really are only here for only a brief time , shadows and dust
C'est bien dit !
French elegance, French beauties. THX so much for these precious moments 💞
Everything about this is extraordinary, including the added sound. Recruiting French speakers, adding the sound of the sea and the birds, etc. Brilliant!
The only problem they did not have the same accent in the 1920
Sonny, u spelt français incorrect. There isn't a 'h' nor a 'c' in the name. U're thinking of a cedalla (ç) instead.

so amazing, something just like yesterday once more
A video taken 'just' 56 years before i was born. i already feel old. Oh and to think the two cute ladies are long gone.
Don't fear age, I missed out a lot in the past 2 decades, but I am looking forward to seeing how well I can do in old age as I have much belatedly to offer with new found confidence. I have hope in our generation that we will still look beautiful decades later.
Your children & grandchildren will look at you as old & passe
Almost all of these peoples in these videos have lived their lives and are gone now.
They were doing the same things we all do because people do not change only the things around us do.
Great footage thank you, as Humphry Bogart said in one of his movies "I love the beach miles and miles of sand and all of it in your food"
Would have loved to have seen more of the fashion show, love their clothes. Thanks for your work, it's so good!

@@patriciagriffith7402 I do, too. If fashion/style did a throwback to this era for the current 20s, I'd be thrilled.
Did you see that one guy checking out the girl in the fashion show lol!! Women didn’t have to dress half naked back then either.
film was very expensive back then
It feels so strange watching videos with laughing REAL human beings, not just some pictures from history workbooks. It feels as if I’m in there, in that era,sitting with them on the beach and observing life! The videos filmed in the early 1900’s are over 100 years older than me, and acknowledging that people lived, had aims and were not different from today really does shock me. Thanks for your work!
Edit: I’m 17(writing for some ppl down there)
Most of the original footage is played back faster or slower than normal, probably because the videographers had to hand crank the cameras, and didn't do a perfect job. These remastered videos are so amazing because they help you realize that people 100yrs ago weren't that different from us.
Why would they be different? They wore more clothes at the beach and didn't have cell phones. How would they not have Aims, lives and families? Kids today think the 80s was the stone age because we put a quarter in a pay phone , had 6 broadcast channels and listened to music on cassettes.
and they had no idea that 12 years later the Germans would over run France.
@@robertsmith6068 And 100 years before, Napoleon and the French did run over Germany. So don't bother...
@@petermueller7407 My comment has nothing to do with politics or ideology or anything else of that nature. Only that, there they were, enjoying life and life altering changes were just over the horizon. So don't bother with your foolish, hasty and misguided attack. And if I remember correctly Germany wasn't a nation in Napoleonic times and in any case Napoleon didn't over run Germany in the same sense as what happened to France in 1940.
100 years before would have been 1828, Napoleon was defeated and exiled in 1815.
Oh can you imagine going back in time for a day - the absolute excitement you'd feel for everything that's going on ❤️👍
Oh yes
What fun!
I just finished writing a time travel novel where this happens. Each day is a different year. It,'s called, When Are You Today? Should be on Amazon in Nov.
@Dave Adams - It would be interesting, especially when people from that time period see you with all the modern day clothing and devices, like the cell phone, which wouldn't work. They might think you're from a different planet. :-)
To walk in a different time decade's before you even existed as people who until moments earlier were long dead. Smell the air, the food, the perfumes and feel the presence of the dawning of the mechanical age.
Regardez comme mon pays était beau, la vie semblait si douce. Tout a disparu maintenant quelle tragédie… 🇫🇷😢
Vous exagérez pas un peu ?
I love Biarritz and all the french blue coast,it's so elegant and beautifull, totally delightfully.
These films are awesome, I'm so happy that they've been restored for future generations
These views into the past are simply breathtaking!! The beauty of life back then. People had much less than we do now but look at how happy everyone is!! I would pay to have this type of happiness now…
That is exactly what my grandmother told me. She said they were poor but they had each other and that made them happy.
The old saying is true.....less is more
The people you see in that movie were rich at that time. Normal people could not afford a holiday at the beach.
This was by far the best one you have ever made, this made me feel like they are all still alive, and I love seeing the hairstyles and clothes of the women back then, what a fantastic video!!
Everything its gold, but not the hairstyle
Looks like it was just as crowded on the beaches then as it is now. Doesn't matter where you are in the world really. Just a rare glimpse into the forgotten past...I love how people look carefree sitting in the cafes and just watching the world go by...
I was there in 1998. The place very much looked the same. One of those gems where time passes by slowly.
So lovely to watch but also sad, those children playing on the beach so happily, the women chatting enjoying each other's company, everything about it is just...can't describe ❤️
I know exactly what you mean. I couldn’t find the words either.
Yes, same for me. We can see their everyday life but none of them is with us anymore. Feeling as we lost something....
You probably mean the futility of life itself. Same thing I perceived. And that is inevitable.
@@JuniorPolancoLaCoalicion Life and living life well is anything but futile. Accept that life is finite. A blossom drops, and another takes its place.
Yeah the fact that seeing these children in this recording that was like 1 century makes me realise that they’re basically dead by now which is pretty depressing
It never fails to blow my mind every single time I see these videos, never thought I would ever see something like this from so long ago without being recreated. But this is the real thing, it brings to life all those people that are in the video. I would love for their families to see them. Someone’s great-great grandmother young , vibrant and full of life hanging out at the beach, or modeling clothes for the crowd. Amazing , thanks for all your hard work!
@SIMPSON Bart huh yeah it was long ago like 94 year's ago It's 2022 i would say that's a nice minute ago it was a whole different world from today in a big way
@SIMPSON Bart It's a long time in a human life time. Who gives a crap about your sky daddy?
I live around the area and it luckily feels really similar to this, in 2021. Still as beautiful as this, those historic buildings are still standing in the background too. Of course people look different nowadays, but the "spirit" is really still the same.. that moment you're gonna have a swim or just stepping in the sand :) What moves me here, is thinking all those people in the movie, so busy simply living their lives at that moment.. they're all long time gone, and it's a good reminder for us to enjoy our present, to fully live simple moments like this, like when you're just walking in the sand and hear the sound of the sea, the smell... that's maybe what those beautiful ladies from the 20's are trying to tell us ;)
Except theres no french people anymore

I’m addicted to these videos. I wish I could teleport myself there. Thank you for posting so future generations can enjoy ❤
It reminds me that today is all we have and enjoying the simple pleasures is what life is really all about. When we're young, we feel we will be that way forever, and time quietly passes until the years turn into decades.
Fashion was beautiful and comfortable at the same time, a lot of flowing, swaying clothing! People brought a lot of stuff to the beach with them, just like we do today also! :) lovely video!

Because of black and white video and photos we get a dull and dreary imagine of the 1920s. In reality it was very bright and colourful, even more so today
I had some R&R in Biarritz during my biggest musical tour in 1990. After watching this beautiful film I realized that the place has stayed very much the same over the years. Wonderful scenery in that part of France. Our tour bus driver drove our bus onto the beach , sinking the tires up to the wheel wells so that we would be forced to stay a few days until help arrived. We cooked fish on top of a shopping cart and drank loads of Spanish wine. Best time I ever had in my life!
Can’t help but notice the overall awareness and consciousness they maintained. And talked to people
Yeah and the lack of multiculturalism
No fat folk
It makes me so happy to see these images. I live kind of close to Biarritz and I’ve been there many times. I love to see it like this ❤️
Very addictive, and a wonderful window to the past, to history, and to our unchanging and shared humanity, through the ages, thank you for a wonderful upload...
This is simply incredible, beautiful work. I wasn't born in that time but I would love to experience it through film and photos. Thank you.

Its always incredible to look back before we were born seeing life as say our grand parents would remember.
Life has changed dramatically
This is strangely relaxing and I'm not sure why, especially as it's so crowded. I am from NZ and there are no beaches here that would be that crowded, even in the largest cities in mid Summer (perhaps because we have so many beaches to go to). In many places around NZ you can find yourself alone on the beach. Not one person there.
Because everybody locked up for quarantine
Paris is far away of the beach. First hollyday paid. Actually french coast receive 12 millions person per year. Majority between july and august..

It's because we have lost some sense of order and meaning. See fashion these days.
@@so_she_said I don't know, there are fully clothed people on the beach there lol
Maybe subconsciously knowing that all those people are in their graves now, and we ourselves will follow them and be replaced with others and so life continues...?

There are Russians in this video.. Biarritz has attracted wealthy Russian visitors since the middle of the 19th century. Members of the Russian imperial court used to come for the climate and the pampering to be found at the Hôtel du Palais, a former palace built in the 1850s for the French Empress Eugénie.Biarritz was popular among the Russian nobility at the end of the nineteenth century. The Alexander Nevsky church was consecrated in the city in 1892. Feodor Chaliapin lived in his villa in Biarritz. A.P. Chekhov spent two weeks here In September 1897. Nabokov family often brought their son Volodya here. Vladimir Nabokov, who became a world famous writer, recalled being in Biarritz as living in paradise. Grand Duke Dmitry Pavlovich married American Audrey Emery in Biarritz. Prince Alexander Petrovich of Oldenburg lived in the city after the Russian revolution and emigration. It's rumoured Vladimir Putin has got a secret hideaway in Biarritz..
@@m.dewylde5287 You're welcome !
So interesting. There were beach vendors walking around (reminds me of Cabo) and people were concerned about tan lines back then too. Haha
One of the best tan women was the late actress Margot Hemmingway who was on a rowboat stretching her back behind her with her arms over her head and was sitting sideways on the boat nude. There were no tanlines anywhere. This was in Playboy magazine around 1990. Some photos of nude women are a work of art. But then again it is in the eyes of the beholder and the maturity of the viewer. Today's Hollywood has no class, unlike European movies of the past half century.
Probably selling baignet abricot, as they do today.
Sorry. That should be plural. More than one baignet,
I used to go to mexico every year in the 60s and 70s and there always was vendors walking around selling there goods. Went once in the 80s to Manzanillo... Still vendors. I bet there still are vendors walking in the sand. That is normal life. As a teen I used to say that the US outlawed fun. You can't have a huge party here with bands playing music past 10 pm nice and loud, on a weekend even, because the police will be called. I went to parties in Mexico where the 2nd or 3rd band left about 1am and then the record player was kept going for another hour or two. At one party the record player played until 6am that time. My young man and I were the only 2 dancing anymore. I danced all night long since 8pm to 6am! That, my friends, was life. It was the first time I fell in love, puppy love.
@@luislaplume8261 Hollywood never really had class....and neither did nude photos.
People were more elegant then...they cared about how they looked and came across. They were polite and friendships were meaningful. You had just one sweetheart for life - people were passionate but controlled. They really knew how to have fun. They were wholesome and family orientated.
You speak as though you lived through those times, did you?
You have brought that era back to life through these videos. An incredible window into ordinary people's lives just the same as us yet something we've been as yet unable to almost comprehend. Brilliant.
Excellent footage! It’s so hard to watch all the people, enjoying a day at the beach, not knowing only a decade later what was coming. And to think everyone’s now dead. Morbid I know, but true
So true. But perhaps a baby or toddler could still be alive today if they were fortunate to live into their nineties!

What amazing video,and how beautiful they all were,and how clean and tidy the beach was,beautiful video.
We are one of the first generations that can "see" the dead. Amazing.
I had nearly the exact same thought! Everyone who was an adult in those videos is gone, right down to the person who took the video itself. Maybe a few of the children are alive, but for all intents and purposes, this is a view of a generation that is completely gone. Except we only get images. In many years to come, people will look back at some content shared on the Internet, some kind of channel, whether it be UA-cam, Facebook or something else, see the date stamp, and realize that person is gone, everyone who commented is gone .. and they'll see so much of what it was like at that time ... for good or bad. But regardless, it will feel very real in a way no generation has truly experienced about their ancestors.

So beautiful to capture and professional editing to give us a feel of actually being there. I love UA-cam simply because of talented people like you I can watch their creative content .
Looks like it was filmed yesterday, simply stunning!
This is a wonderful era that will never return.
Amazing work, thank you for this very good job. ! I'm nostalgic of this period even if i never lived in the 20's....
0:09 : This landscape has not changed. Even today, when I go to Biarritz (and I go there regularly since I live in the region), I take advantage of this image. Thanks for this video.
ça a quand même été beaucoup construit depuis. Regardez la montée vers la chambre d'amour.
When I was there in 1998 I recall they had excellent sea food there at a restaurant. I wonder if it's still there I don't recall the name. A very charming place with a special atmosphere.
So beautiful. It's sad to think that all these people are gone though
Not so,some of the kids probably still living,France and other parts of europe have long life span,much less stress than usa
They'll have immortality through these films
They are in a better place.
@@shrimpflea Belgium ?
@@cecillebarone9252 Every country has people 100 years old. You're calling getting conquered by the Nazi's "less stress"?
This is soo beautiful. I love Biarritz since decades and nothing seems to change... People were young and full of life then and now, yet most of the 1928 beachgoers are no more. September 1928 or September 2021... What is time, how short is life. Just a blink of the eye. Enjoy every day as much as you can!
Thank you, this made my day :) Merci beaucoup.
My dad was 17 years old when this was filmed. By that time his family had already lost their hotel, restaurant and livery stable. When my dad had his appendix removed he contracted smallpox while he was in the hospital. It was a different world back then.
From someone who used to do film to VHS transfers as a profession, the AI enhancement is AMAZING!
Amazing. They immediately look so much similar to us.
This was the first time in history that short hair on women was fashionable, right?
Kind of. It’s the first time period where short hair is fashionable with all women, despite social class. In the regency era, there was a short trend for upper class women in France to wear their hair short in a style that resembles modern pixie cuts, though it went out of fashion quickly. The 1920s were the first time all women regardless of social class could wear their hair short without too much scrutiny.
It seems that two people use "plankis" .to surf the wawes lying on the belly . Movie realised at the "cote des Basques" where longboard surfing appeared in 1953. People were so elegant , even at the beach in 1928 .now I am not still young ( 63 years) but I am still longboarding there .Biarritz is like Huntington beach .keep on surfing .
Joan of Arc had short unisex hair. It was also popular back in the Middle Ages…….
Ronald Reagan Joan of Arc had short hair because she had to disguise herself as a man to be taken seriously. It wasn’t a fashion statement.
europeans are the opposite of jews .
Absolutely fascinating and so important to have. Thank you! Not to many neck-to-knee or suit and tie outfits on the beaches here in Sydney these days! Cheers, Dave

Amazing,people just enjoying the good sea beach life. Wonderful video.
Superbe la qualité de la vidéo et la réalité !
Épatant!
Merci pour la vidéo
I love these and this era. It's a little window back to a more genteel time. I wish I could time travel and be there for awhile.
Exactly... More genteel time... Pity we don't live in such a time but ok let's be thankful even for this. 😼
@@so_she_said We could revive that era if we wanted to.
Ok now I’ve discovered and subscribed this channel you’ve got me binge watching the videos.
Extraordinary video enhancement taking us back for a ride in years past and dare I say it everyone looks healthy if you know what I mean. The clothing fashions are beautiful.
Sensational videos, thank you.
Watching (especially enhanced) lively video’s like these, gives me always the strange feeling that all of these people are deceased. None of them is alive anymore. What went on in their lives? What were they thinking, feeling, experiencing? What were their trials and tribulations? Were they happy? Did they have any clues what serious matters laid ahead of them? World wars, depressions etc.
Good comment.
And a 100 yrs from now wer all dead too
They were about 12 years from WW2. What's 12 years ahead for us?
Indeed... Just one year later a major economic shock would rock the world. Then things got even worse in Europe. Yet many survived, lived their lives through it, and got to see better times later on. Their happiness here in a way seems like a fragile dream that's about to dissolve. But, happiness never died, it was only overshadowed for a while.
Most if not all of them are gone now. Even the littlest of babies are gone from this world. Thanks for documenting this on film for all of us to cherish.
Good old days, I can still remember this.
