Kiosque des noctambules

Paris Mètro stop Palais Royal - Musée du Louvre ( Lignes 1 and 7) is probably our favorite stop. We love the elaborate steel and  colorful glass structure designed by artist Jean-Michel Othoniel,  titled "Kiosque des noctambules ( Kisok of the Night Walkers). An added plus is this stop is located at Place Colette just steps from our favorite wine stop, Café le Nemours. Win, win!

Métro, Place Colette

Paris Rouge - Place Colette

Métro ligne 1 at Place Collette is one of my favorite stops. Jean-Michel Othoniel's "Kiosque de Noctambules" is not to be missed.

Fantasy at Place Collette

The "Paris photography gods" were smiling. What could be better than walking up on Monsieur Bulle, making these exquisite creations at Place Collette with the Othoniel's Metro stop behind.

A Showstopping Metro Station

Only in Paris would you find a Metro stop that's this colorful and fun! This is the Palais-Royal/Musée du Louvre station at Place Colette. Redesigned in 2000 by Jean-Michel Othoniel, he named it Kiosque des Noctambules ( kiosk of the night walkers). Consisting of brightly colored glass balls threaded on aluminum, it features two cupolas that represent day (red/yellow) and night (blues and purple). In the sunlight it is quite something to see!
