What Is It ? Where Is It? contest est fermé and we have a winner!( Click here and have a look.) Ma chère amie Mary ( Mad About Paris) correctly guessed Charles de Gaulle Airport. Those of you that fly into Paris on Delta/Air France will find you luggage awaiting you ( if you are very lucky) and then you will exit through a bank of doors. This colorful mural of la Tour is right there to greet you!
Beautiful motive.
ReplyDeleteI love this sign ... I want it ..
ReplyDeleteIn 2009 Phil took a photo of me at CDG in front of a rendering of a Metro stop - I recognized the style of the illustration! At first I thought that it was a Venetian blind!
ReplyDeleteProud to be your winner!
Here's my excuse: I haven't flown into CDG in waaay too long! Congrats to Mary. And I like your simple Fermé sign too!
ReplyDeleteOuch! Now that you say it, it feels obvious. (And last time, I went by train.)
ReplyDeleteI've never flown Delta. I saw that sign too many times.
ReplyDeleteMary, I did actually buy you a fabulous prize at HomeGoods today and then broke it when I got it home. Don't worry. I'll find another! :)
ReplyDeleteActually I had about two hours to contemplate this wall when my luggage arrived at CDG before moi July'09. They spent that time finding it but were unable to bring it to me. I made another trip there two days later to pick up my luggage. :)
Well, no wonder I didn't know, I fly Continental :-) Love the Ferme sign -- tres Parisienne!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations Mary!!! My last trip to Paris was by ship then by bus...no CDG airport!!!
ReplyDelete(ps...I don't recommend Paris on a cruise...not even a good teaser...way too short a visit!!!)
You did such a great job of capturing the spirit of this sign!
