Have to give it to the French architects - they are very good with metal and glass. Saw a whole program on the megastadiums ( or megastadia) this evening on the new ones being built for Euro2016 as well as the renovated ones.The Beaverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11457136925020206640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17913552.post-55849796809242773212016-06-11T16:00:08.488+02:002016-06-11T16:00:08.488+02:00I want to see this someday!

I haven't been to Paris since 1990, though visited it regularly in the '80s when it was my favourite city of all those many that I knew, and hope that it still would be. Les Halles was withing spitting distance of my regular, small, comfortable hotel and so became a standard feature of my visits. At that time it had some superb cinemas, which I hope are still there and thriving. Yet a further reason for wanting to re-visit (as though I really needed a further reason!)Raybeardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12424095016313843883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17913552.post-86452266569317943682016-06-11T08:57:30.171+02:002016-06-11T08:57:30.171+02:00Wonderful perspective of the constant construction...Wonderful perspective of the constant construction zone.... It will be neat to see it on my next visit.

My only disappointment is that once inside, it's just like a big American mall. I don't know what I was expecting. In any case, you got some excellent shots of this impressive place.Stuarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06513394224102833095noreply@blogger.com
