St. Catherine Fete, Rue de la Paix, Paris, 1913: A Historical Snapshot of Cheerful Catharinettes This evocative photograph captures the spirit of the annual St. Catherine Fete, a unique and cherished tradition in Paris that celebrated the city's shopgirls. Taken in November 1913, the image shows a joyful procession of young women, dressed in their finest, making their way down the elegant Rue de la Paix. The St. Catherine Fete was a time-honored custom that marked the end of the shopping season and the beginning of the holiday season. The Catharinettes, as the shopgirls were affectionately called, would don their most beautiful outfits and parade through the streets of Paris, bringing a sense of excitement and merriment to the city. The procession began at the Galeries Lafayette department store, where the Catharinettes would gather before setting off on their festive march. The Rue de la Paix, with its luxurious shops and grand buildings, provided the perfect backdrop for this annual celebration. The Catharinettes' outfits, a mix of traditional and modern styles, reflect the changing times. Some wear simple, elegant dresses, while others sport more daring, fashionable ensembles. Their faces are filled with joy and excitement, and their laughter fills the air. This photograph, taken by an unknown photographer and available through Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a rare glimpse into a bygone era. It captures the essence of the St. Catherine Fete and the spirit of the Catharinettes, who brought cheer to Parisians and marked the end of another successful shopping season.
