La Belle Epoque (French for "The Beautiful Era" and pronounced "bel ey-pawk") began around 1890 and lasted until 1914. The name was coined to describe the years of Peace and Prosperity that marked middle class life in France.
La Belle Epoque expresses expansion, carefree attitudes, faith in progress and affluence spreading down through society - together with nostalgia.
It is my wish for all to experience La Belle Epoque.
Come experience the charm of Oldtown Salinas. La Belle Epoque supports our Oldtown Art Walk which is held the first Friday of every month from 5-8pm. Stop by for refreshments and a warm welcome.
Peace & Prosperity, Pamela
