Alger et ses environs (1945)
This is 1945 and thanks to air travel, Algeria and Algiers have become (at least this is what the commentary claims), part of the Parisian suburbs. Algiers is really a must-see destination with its wide boulevards, its modern buildings on the one hand and its picturesque Moorish quarters, including the mysterious Casbah, on the other hand. Not so far away from the capital of the French colony, there are treasures like the turquoise sea coast, the mountains of Kabylia or the freshness of desert oases. So, just go and buy your air ticket, you won't forget the experience.
