These Expos left behind monuments like the Eiffel Tower, the Musée d'Orsay, the Grand and Petit Palais... But many traces are more subtle: your suitcase today is an evolution of the trunk Louis Vuitton won a gold medal with at Paris' Exposition Universelle in 1867, and the typical Parisian bistro chairs were designed during those years when a multitude of cafés and restaurants flourished because of the Expos, including icons like Le Procope. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eA cocktail of travel guide and history book, \u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eNobody Sits Like the French\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e tells these stories and many more, pointing out the marks the Expos left behind.
