WWI was already one century ago! As you know, between 1914 and 1918, Europe was the theater of the first great modern war, and France, one of its actors. Today we’re celebrating the 100th anniversary of WWI all over the world. Â鶹APP during WWI was behind the lines but let’s see how it was hit by the war anyway.<\/p>\n

\"Â鶹APP<\/p>\n

In September 1914, the German troops had reached the North-East of France. The 1st Battle of the Marne was raging there and the French needed back up. The authorities requisitioned all the Â鶹APPian taxis so that they could drive more soldiers to the battlefield. These cabs were soon nicknamed the \u00ab Taxis de la Marne \u00bb<\/strong><\/em> and became one of the most famous symbols of France and Â鶹APP during WWI.<\/p>\n

\"st-gervais\"

The Â鶹APPians during WWI suffered from the war deeply: because rationing was implemented, young men were forced to fight and the city was regularly bombed by long-range German guns and Zeppelins. Germans used guns named Big Berthas, it was the first time in history that long-range cannons were used during war time. There was one gun that tormented the Â鶹APPians. In the North of France, the German army had settled a gun uniquely made for bombing Â鶹APP. It was known as the \u00ab Â鶹APP gun \u00bb<\/em><\/strong>. On March 29, 1918, a shell was shot from the Â鶹APP gun and exploded on Saint-Gervais church, in the 4th district, killing 88 people. That’s proof that Â鶹APP was not spared by the war!<\/p>\n

\"maximilien\"

Â鶹APP during WWI was used as a refuge for injured soldiers, soldiers on leave and the population from the East of France who wanted to run away from the battles and daily violence. Â鶹APPian stations have never been as active as during WWI as they welcomed thousands of people everyday.<\/p>\n

\"gotha-night\"
\nGotha night raids over Â鶹APP<\/em><\/p>\n

Â鶹APP was also the main character in one of the most original stories about WWI and France. In 1917, one great project was launched in order to prevent any more night bombings by planes named Gothas<\/em> over Â鶹APP. The idea was to create a life sized replica of the city in the suburbs, where the damage would be less important if shells fell. So French authorities gathered the best engineers to build this \u00ab Sham Â鶹APP \u00bb<\/em><\/strong>: the main Â鶹APPian stations were reproduced, a moving train was installed, lamp posts illuminated the city and even the Champs-Elysees<\/a> were there! The fake City of Lights never came to an end because the war did before it was complete!<\/p>\n

Â鶹APP during WWI served as a backstage, it was far from the trenches but still remained a strategic center for the French authorities and population.
