"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal..." Does it ring a bell? Yes, it's the opening of the Declaration of Independence, written by Thomas Jefferson in 1776. Well, it also became a source of inspiration to the French revolutionaries who wrote the French constitution (Déclaration des Droits de l'Homme et du citoyen) some 13 years later. And as a symbol, you can read some of its main articles on the walls of... the metro station Concorde!
Eric - Thanks for posting this photo, which I find especially effective in black and white. I was in the Concorde metro station a few times this past Spring, and a colleague and I began reading the walls while waiting for our train. Paris does have, indeed, a few very unique subway stations. Show us more sometime!
ReplyDelete> Elisabeth. Thank you. In fact I drive a motrocycle in Paris so I have very few occasions to take the Metro... But I will do my best to show you more for, as you say, some of them are very worth showing.
ReplyDeleteAmazing. I bet this took a huge amount of time and expense to place each of these tiles. It was worth it!
ReplyDeleteA quand la constitution europeenne a la station Europe ?... ;-)
ReplyDelete> Rock. I don't know actually
ReplyDelete> Charlus. Très drôle...
