A vous Cognacq Jay!


I took this photo on top of a very famous place in Paris ; the historical television studios of the French Television! It's located rue Cognacq Jay in the 7th arrondissement and all French people who are my age, and more, can still remember reporters saying "and now, back to our studio... A vous Cognacq Jay"! It is still used as television facilities and by multimedia companies like the one of Vincent Giolito, the dear friend I visited there yesterday evening.

  1. The double Eiffel Tower gives the photo a great effect!

  5. What a great photo of La Tour Eric and very original.

    I have to confess I am a Paris Daily addict. Thanks for creating such a great blog about 'our city'.

    It's great logging on and wondering what the next photo will be!

    Keep up the good work!

  6. I don't remember Cognacq Jay. Wow. I hope I'm not following in Reagan's footsteps ... And then again, we weren't exactly a TV oriented family, so that might explain this.

    However, I will say this: the more Eiffel Towers in the pic, the better ;)

  7. thank you anonymous... i was wondering if it indeed had something to do with the fact that la patinoire was replaced this year by a winter wonderland of evergreens.

    This from the guy who didn't much like photography when he got his first camera as a gift.

  9. HI Eric. Just back from Beijing and what a wonderful photo to come home to. Nothing can compare to Paris and her Eiffel Tower. This is really a unique perspective on it too!
