Métro Bastille



The retro look of the building makes a striking background
for the yellow Métro sign at Bastille.

  4. Paris never ends to be refreshing, even if this is London's week. I nearly cried - like 5 times - with the Olympics ceremony yesterday.

  8. Well, you certainly couldn't miss the Metro with a sign like this one. :)

    Have a great weekend, Genie!

  9. I actually could miss the metro with this sign—because I'd be looking for a red one. I do love all the pops of color in this shot, Genie.

  10. Good one. Reminds me a bit of Mondrian paintings or whatever that couturier's name (in the Sixties) who made dresses based on Mondrian.

  11. That was one of my favorite things about Paris--that every sign for the Metro was so different!

  12. Oh Diane, please say it is not so! I cringe every time I see a McDo in Paris - hah!

    ds, I have a book on the Paris Metro and there is much discussion about all the different signs and styles.

    Bibi, you are correct, and I was struggling to come up with a designer who mimicked this color-blocking.

    Pet, I am with you... what a personal intimate feel of the opening ceremonies... just lovely.

    Randy, you could probably find one in the flea markets of Paris.

    Hope that you each have a wonderful weekend.

    Bises,
    Genie

  13. «Louis» has always been amazed at how well le Métro works, especially compared to BART here in the SF Bay Area...
