Sarazin said that Paris in the French Revolution was reproduced very well and the Parisian streets reflect those of that historical period : crowded, not very clean and the theater of the everyday life. Life in Paris was definitely not easy. There was trash on the streets even though there already were cleaning services. It's impossible to feature it in a game, but the streets of Paris also smelled really badly. The expert also stated that at the time there were no sidewalks, as can be seen very well from the trailers.
As for the houses, the facades and rooves have been accurately recreated. Paris at the time was already a city built in stone and there were not many wooden buildings left. To date in the second district and in the central districts it's still possible to see several buildings of that period of time. They were buildings with four or five stories, with the lower floors equipped with high ceilings. It is also possible to see that the Parisian rooves are steep and not terraced because the latter did not exist in northern France.
