Louvre reflet

Café Marly à la Pyramide

This is my entry for James' Weekend Reflections right HERE!

le Café Marly

Steps away from la Pyramide du Louvre. I keep it on my list but have not had a drink here. Have you?

C'est magique!

Many friends contact me for advice on what to see in Paris to make the most of their time there. For those only in Paris for a few days,  I usually recommend a smaller museum and then to see la Pyramide du Louvre at night. C'est magique!

Pourquoi?

have I never grabbed my friends (ou peut-être mes amis grabbed moi)  and marched into Café Marly and enjoyed a nice drink while watching the sunset on la Pyramide???  Je ne sais pas. Je suis triste.

Spring Cleaning la Pyramide

Oh I can hear what you're saying, "Why on earth is Virginia posting this shot? Every tourist on the planet has taken this one!". Well I have a little Louvre trivia pour toi aujourd'hui. Ever wonder how they clean all that glass? ( Paris is full of pigeons you know.) I'm sure I.M. Pei never gave that a thought when he designed it. Well it's obviously a job too big for a Frenchman with a squeegee! Look closely and you will see the little robot that does it effortlessly. You just never know what you'll learn on PTML!

Café Marly

Bienvenue á la Café Marly! I've not gotten any further inside than right here (c'est dommage), but I think there is a glass of champagne in there somewhere with my name written all over it! Once inside you can have a sip from a front row seat of la Pyramide ! What could be more wonderful, especially at night? Café Marly has just jumped to the top of my To Do list for my next visit.

la Pyramide

Pardon, I have so many photographs from la Louvre that I can't help myself. I must post more! Today a different point of view with I.M. Pei's Pyramide in black and white. Actually there is method to my madness. It's Theme Day for City Daily Photobloggers around the world. Visit my Birmingham, Alabama Daily Photo Blog to see how I interpreted October's theme, CONTRAST .
