Not a fan of modern art. But I have ridden the escalator to the roof top restaurant with an out-door terrace. A great lunch spot with a beautiful view of the city. I understand you can no longer do this without a fee? Love the red Virginia!
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.

Love the splash of red and the crooked line!
Una magica visione notturna.
Brava!
This is probably the best shot I have ever seen of Centre Pompidou... great angle and lines, mostly monochrome with a fabulous pop of rouge!
Rouge oh la la ! C'est bien !
Excellent! I am not a fan of the modern style but you have made me appreciate this gorgeous escalator!
Far from my fave Paris building either—except for this one colorful element, and you definitely "got" it, V!
Wow! At first when I looked at the photo I thought it was some type of roller coaster! This is really cool!
It's certainly appealing!
God bless you!

I guess every city, even Paris, has it's "modern" fopaws!!! Red is definitely your color V!!! Well done!!!
Be still my heart...
I love the building, but the "art" leaves a lot to be desired.
Is that really an escalator with those severe angles? Have you ever ridden on it? How nice of them to have painted it red!
