I'm glad you found it, too!! I wouldn't want to catch a train at night on my ownsome, but I wonder if I'd feel differently about the Metro... or this stop, at least.
Peter, I don't recall any others. I think I shared a photo I took here from the stairway with you when you were doing the Midmonth theme! Got anything pour moi?? :)
Shell and Yvi, I've traveled by metro very late alone a few times and have never been frightened. There are usually people around. Maybe I've been lucky!
Louis, I took your advice and joined the Monochrome gang today.
Le Metro looks so good. The shapes of the lamps and the reflected light on the tile is beautiful. And the young woman is lovely - ah, Paris! Monochorme is all about lighting, isn't it? That's just starting to dawn on me.
I love the métro, but all that climbing is becoming a bit much for me. I wish they would install the escalators they've been promising for the past ten years or so.
I am a former elementary school teacher, a full-time photographer, lover of all things French ( whose French is slowly improving), obsessive Paris traveler, enthusiastic church and community volunteer, and grandmother to 5 delightful grandchildren.
I fell in love with Paris in March 2007. It was as the French say, le coup de foudre : love at first sight. As a result of that trip, my photography took another direction. Since that time I have pursued a career of sorts in photography and dreamed of returning to the City of Light. November 2008 found me strolling the streets of Paris once again. My first visit I was so overwhelmed with the incredible beauty of the city, I photographed it as a "tourist". In 2008 I returned and I looked at the city with more of a photographer's eye. I wanted to capture the unique, the small details, and oh yes - the people! This blog was started as a photo diary of that trip, but I have been most fortunate to return to the city j'adore 15 times since. Each time I leave, I wipe a tear and start planning my list for the next trip. Paris may well be a moveable feast, but I think it's best savored in person! Someone told me that once you have been to Paris, you will leave a piece of your heart. I left mine right there, but I brought home some wonderful memories. It is my pleasure to share them with you.

Nice, nice...! I guess this is the only one with this kind of lampposts!
Good Morning,
lovely photo...
I think, if I would be the woman, I would have to wait very scared at night alone there.
Greetings
Yvi
Good one for Monochrome Monday, Virginia!

I love all the curves. This is beautiful.

Fabulous fabulous fabulous photos over the last few days, Ms. V. I always miss so much when I take an internet break!
Wonderful shot .. I wonder what that woman thought
Great shot! Especially in B&W!

Starman,
Each time I visit Paris, I regret not doing more excercising beforehand. Some of the stairs are killers. Abesses is the worst I think!
Tash,
It is all about the light and the contrasts. I've still a lot to learn myself.
Wow! I'm glad you found this! What a great photo! That woman looks a bit lonely, though.
Re: Ministry of Justice...yes, we went to St. Chappelle; I posted a photo of it previously on Paree...
Good find in the archives indeed, I love the way the lights positively glow.
Probably my fave Paris metro station—those lights!
I'm so glad you dug this one out to share with us.
Gorgeous.
Lovely photo. The lighting is marvelous.
I love this image!
What rich tonality. Great reflections on the ceiling - you captured the mood well. Great work.
