    I had intended to drag Peter in there and get some shots but the SOLDES started that day and it looked like the After Thanksgiving Sale at Macy's in there. I was afraid for my life so we stayed outside and shot the window. I'm sure Peter breathed a sigh of relief!

    Great shot this one.

    Oh, makes me remember of a "feuilleton tele" I used to look at when I was a little girl,with "les petits rats de l'opéra"!(that's how we call very young dancers in french, little rats!)

    I really need to take the Opera Garnier tour someday.
    This looks great in black and white.

    I also posted a b&w Paris photo today and I took it not far from here.

    I've never done the inside tour. I'll have to remedy that one day. Maybe in June.

    More than two tutus, by my count. Still, quite fascinating. Delightful photo.

    I read it too fast. You were at Opera Garnier? I'll bet it was the gift shop?? I tried to persuade my crew to let me get in there but they poo pooed that idea.
