Paris Rouge LXXVI - le Métro


Forgive the tourist shot today, but I loved the vine covered wall behind the Métro sign.

    Metro, souvent aussi Metropolitain en entier vert sur fond jaune, ou parfois, un simple M jaune. Pas d'unité dans la signalétique, c'est tant mieux, même si cela peut être un casse tête pour les étrangers

    In that very vicinity there are some wonderful murals on the wall of a church, too.

    Well, if it is a tourist shot, it is a successful one, Virginia. Well done. Love that "vigne-vierge" (or at least that's what I think it is) on the wall, too. Veronique (French Girl in Seattle)

    The sign is actually very striking filmed against the vined wall.

    Don't apologize! It's a classic for a reason—and you've done it proud with this shot, V.

    I never worry too much about tourist shots. The reasons they are popular is that they are pretty and interesting.

    Mais non, Madame! I don't think that is a tourist shot - what would Paris be without le Metro?!
    Your Paris blog always starts my day off on the right step - and the dream to revisit Paris again soon...
    Merci beaucoup, V de B!
