paris itself was transformed by baron haussmann, the prefect of paris, whose great boulevards were crashinggh the old neighborhoods. an elegant, impersonal, modern city was created. new classes emerged and asserted their right to enjoy themselves. taking their cue from manet, younger artists began to paint aspects of modern city life. but the city they observed was often an uncertain, anonymous place. it offered alienation as well as adventure. the cafe concerts were places of popular entertainment where people from different classes could mingle, their identities masked. edgar degas, in particular, explored places like these with an extraordinary variety of techniques, increasingly using pastel as a means of combining color with drawing. [woman singing in french] in the way he arranged his compositions, degas looked to the example of the japanese color print, whose customary viewpoints and cutoff compositions suggested ways of presenting his vision of the modern world. pierre auguste renoir painted a far more involved and festive vision of the era. the forms of the figures dissolved into a

a dream of the elegance of paris. and i remember that i propose -- it was the last new bid of coutoure that arrived. i thought to propose -- [unintelligible] why don't you take one designer like vivian westwood or others to make one season, one coutoure collection? >> you should call some up immediately and suggest the deal. >> [laughs] that is true. each one to make their own collection should not be back. a very attractive idea. >> as you do not want to talk about art, we will not say your work is art. let's be very vulgar and talk about money. [laughter] it is extraordinary what you have produced in coutoure. does that make any money? quick to be honest, what we produce in coutoure does not make money but it does include money. i must say, i am very proud of that. when i started to do coutoure, after a lot of stories that may be issued do another job, i said, ok, i will do my own collection. i started and never stopped after. on boat one, one woman, done all in lace in the exhibition.

in paris, i could see what was chic in what was not. one time i was working and was arriving at an industry job, and i was wearing boots. they looked at me and said, [unintelligible] as a reproach. i thought, ha ha, very funny. [laughter] but it was beautiful, which can be true but it can be awful, too, a beige. it is not because it is beige, but it could be the absolute beauty, no. it depends how it is done, how it is made, how it looks like. so i was like, let's say, killing the french fashion. i should say france in general. so absolute. it has to be like that. things that i did not feel like. i think it's time i was going, i felt really in love with london. i felt more freedom. when i was going there, it gave me -- [unintelligible] sending like, yes, go on to do the things you feel are good. because it is very conservative in paris. >> only you had come to san francisco. >> yes. >> i can only imagine what you would have produced.

dale hurd reports from paris. >> reporter: in the streets of paris, christians kneel and pray, askingod to deliver france from a same-sex marriage bill they believe amounts to a new french revolution, certain to become law. it would not only grant homosexuals the right to marriage, but the right of same-sex couples to adopt children. it has been legalized in 12 nations so far, most in the western world. and it has been partially legalized in an additional three nations, including the united states. france will be next. >> all we're asking for is to have the same rights as everybody. the right to get married or not. >> i've been with my boyfriend for the last 20 years. we have a very normal life. we have the same rights as straight people have. we pay our taxes. we are raising a little girl the best we can. >> reporter: the socialist government of francois hollande will essentially destroy and redefine the traditional institution of marriage for the benefit of a relatively tiny part of the population, as is the case in most western nations, homosexuals account for less than 5% of the p
