Paris

Architecture of Paris

 A couple of years ago i took the Eurostar to Paris for the weekend with my family, having an interest in architecture then i managed to take a good amount of photographs of the Parisian architecture. Firstly here beginning with the Louvre, as my hotel was merely a minute walk away. The Louvre being famous for holding the Mona Lisa, as well as it's glass pyramid in the central square. Causing a modern contrast against the 1700's façade.

 The Louvre

 A square in Paris, sadly do not know the name.

The Théâtre du Palais-Royal,

 A carnival in the park opposite hotel Le Meurice,

 The Ritz hotel in Paris, in the courtyard,

 Arc de Triomphe,

 Centre Pompidou, designed by architect Richard Rogers, all pipe work has been placed on the outside of the building. Which is what it is famous for, as well as it's exposed steel frame structor, and escalator that takes one to the top.

Notre Dame 

And finally a view of the Seine, from a bride over to Notre Dame.
