Sarazin added that the interiors are quite authentic but according to him it is very easy to recreate them because there are many paintings of the time that portrayed them.

Even the population is very similar to the to the Parisian one in that era. In the trailer we see the Saint Antoine district, around the Bastille. This area was inhabited by the working class of Paris. We also need to take into account that at the time there was not a strong social separation, it was not like the bourgeoisie on one side of the streed and the middle class on the other one. There was a more systematic social mix than there is now in Paris.

Among the inconsistencies shown by Ubisoft Sarazin noted the absence of horses. At the time there were 200,000 in Paris (the city at the time was much less extensive than now) and this is motivated by the fact that the horse was essential for the everyday life. In addition to this, Sarazin noted that in the trailer it's possible to see a bit of fog / vapor. Actually there was a lot more. The visibility was not good in Paris. Everyone had a wood stove / fireplace for heating and cooking and the combustion inevitably created a lot of smoke.

With regard to the overall reproduction of Paris the expert feels convinced and satisfied, not having seen anachronisms in terms of both modernity of antiquity.
