Coucou! - Through the Trees

A "peek-a-boo" view of the Eiffel Tower through the trees as seen from the Jardin des Tuileries near L'Orangerie, one of my favorite museums in Paris.

Le Métro - Châtelet – Les Halles

This is a video I took on one of many underground automatic walkways in Châtelet – Les Halles, a major Métro hub in Paris. Every day, 750,000 travelers pass through Châtelet–Les Halles. At peak hours, the station can see 120 trains in just one hour. Five of the sixteen Métro lines run through here so chances are you will hit Châtelet – Les Halles at least once on any trip to Paris. Châtelet – Les Halles, with 5 Métro lines and three RER commuter rail lines, is the world's largest underground station.

Le Métro - Concorde

The Concorde Métro station is known for its mosaic decor, spelling out the Déclaration des Droits de l'Homme et du Citoyen (Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen), a fundamental document of the French Revolution. 

Le Métro - Tuileries

The theme Le Métro continues this week, with a look inside some of Paris' 300 Métro stations. Many of these stations are known for their unique decor.

The platform at Tuileries is decorated with a retrospective of important cultural and historical events from around the globe by decade. Above, the 1960's, commemorating the first moon landing. Below, the 1980's, commemorating the AIDS Crisis, the introduction of the Swatch and the construction of La Grande Arche de la Défense.
