Wonderful...and interesting album...! and Finlay I see you ! so intelligent...like you !
ReplyDeletewow pic...
ReplyDeletecongrats!!!
Wow !... what a program in such a few days !... :-)
ReplyDeleteI see you didn't lost your time !
By the way, you came at the Cinémathèque (Bercy), just a few meters from my home !... :-)
I live in the residence just in front of it, by a little place. This is my quarter !
Perhaps I was in the Bercy park or the Cour Saint-Emilion in the same time than you ?
I don't know/remember if I was there at this time, 1 chance/2, or in the other side of the world..., anyway..., if you come back in the vicinity, let's drop a call to me !
Beautiful...
ReplyDeleteI don't remember it.
I also love the cats of this special cemetery...
ReplyDeleteHey... you missed the famous graves of Jim Morrison (The Doors), and Allan Kardec ! The most popular ones.
They are on Père Lachaise remember ;-)
ReplyDeletebeautiful...but I really don't understand why this one is here !
ReplyDeleteI guess Napoleon took it with him from Egypt or it was a gift or something and now it just stands around in Paris looking pretty ;-)
ReplyDeleteNice area! We had a pancake in the big park close to the Cinémathèque. There was this carousel there (I love those!). It was a really cool metro too that took us there ;-)
ReplyDeleteYes, this is a gift to France from Egypt, in 1830.
ReplyDeleteIn gratitude for the help in egyptology, with Champollion, etc.
Yes, my son Loïc and me know quite well this old fashioned carroussel, but we prefer another one in another place, with a much more nice old man who operate it, talking a lot with children, playing with the "ponpon", etc.
ReplyDeleteThe Metro line N°14 (automatic - the only one to still run when they go on strike :... :-) ) is more modern than the other ones, even if they are renewing them, litlle by little. It is interesting especially because it brings you from Gare de Lyon to Chatelet in only one run, without a stop.
Wonderful photo, with the perfect sky behind....
ReplyDeleteNapoleon III apartments
ReplyDeleteI like this one !
ReplyDeleteIndeed they are :-)
ReplyDeleteVery impressive!
