Église Saint-Germain des Prés
One of the oldest churches in Paris,
and it has its own Métro stop.
I have featured this church many times before with historical details,
but you might like to know that this is a Val d'Osne signpost (totem)
and it was created in the 1920s with its luminous opaline globe to better
light the Métro entrances. There are a few that remain.
How many have you seen?
bon dimanche

ReplyDeleteYes those art nouveau entrances of Paris. How lovely and what a great monuments for the city to see for all.
ReplyDeleteIf it was our Metro here, the lamp wouldn't illuminate. :-)
ReplyDeleteWell, you know that next time I'll be counting them! Bon dimanche, ma chere.
ReplyDeleteI really like the look of it.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing this info. I never tire of reading about Paris or seeing photos.
ReplyDeleteNice composition.
ReplyDeleteWe walked right passed this spot last year Genie.
ReplyDeleteI will start looking for them... I believe there is one at Saint Paul, one at Iéna... Is that all? (You gave me an idea for a possible future post, thanks!)
ReplyDeleteYour eye for detail is wonderful and I really love this shot!
