Pablo

 The Saint Paul Métro was decked out in Picasso this last trip.  I'm assuming in honor of the newly reopened Musée Picasso that opened in November after a long restoration.  It's always a treat to see new décor in the Métro.

Le Métro

Fast, efficient and economical.  I wish my city had this rapid transit.

Les chaussures noires

Must be a French girl.  I was in awe.

The Métro Grip

Genie and Alexa, a sight I saw a lot in November!

X Rated à Paris??

Gare d'Austerlitz (Métro Line 5) was one we frequented this trip. I had some fun with the architecture and the billboards.

La harpiste dans le Métro

Winding your way up through the halls of the Métro, it's always a delight to be greeted by beautiful music.  These musicians audition for the permit to play in the Métro, so I try to stop and listen, give an appreciative smile and a euro or so.

Paris Rouge et Jaune

All Paris Métros Are Not Alike

I'm learning that each and everyone has their own special flair.  Assemblée Nationale knocked my socks off!

Waiting

A pretty typical scene in the Paris Métro, except for the bass! 

Paris Rouge - le vèlo

Rouge + vélo + classic Métro, need I say more?

Quel Cinéma ?

 

Thanks to Mary who had already seen this film, I took this shot in the Tuileries Métro.   I recently purchased it to share with the grandkids and watched it yesterday.  No wonder it won awards!  Do you know it?

Samedi Signes - M is for Métro

I love these yellow Métro signs.  This one seemed so cheery this bright sunny day.

Les Halles Métro 

La Chanteuse III - The Métro

I regret that I always seem to be in a such hurry when in the Métro. There are usually musicians performing  and I always want to stop and have a listen. Since Métro musicians must audition for the permit to perform there, they are usually very good. I would have bought this singer's CD but alas, had to hurry on my way!

Paris Rouge LXII- Métro Châtelet

Most of you who have used the Paris Métro station Châtelet, may have never noticed these fine red stairs. Why you ask? Most likely it's because you were suffering from fatigue from all the huffing and puffing up and down, up and down, up and down the stairs to make you way through the world's largest Métro-RER station, Châtelet- Les Halles. I've dubbed it "Metro Hell"!  I like the red stairs though.

For my Birmingham readers... coming soon!

Paris Rouge LXI- L'homme rouge

 So Paris.  Le métro, la lumière de la rue, l'homme rouge, et l'Opera Garnier!

le Métropolitan

Monceau 

Line 2

One of the 83 remaining original art nouveau Métro signs designed by Hector Guimard in 1900.  This one is at the entrance at Parc Monceau.

M is for .....

well you know! 

(My Paris amie Mary Gilbert is here visiting from Cincinnati. She had this photo made into her iPhone case. How fun is that!)

A Slice of Paris

Want to know why I love this photo?  Because it captures so many things that say, "Paris" to me.

How many can you spot ???
