Cité Universitaire


I don't know if you remember, I already showed you a view of the Cité Universitaire, a park located in the 14th arrondissement where students can find accommodations, libraries, sport facilities, concert halls, etc. Well, I went back recently and took this photo and it reminded me of the Stanford Campus in California. Of Course, size wise, there is no comparison, but this is the closest we have!

  1. IF we remember? My dear Lord Eric, your every shot is committed to memory. This is a great one, i love the ornate ceiling contrasted by the smooth, minimalist ground surface.

  4. Bonjour Eric,
    La photo que vous avez mise aujourd'hui me fait penser a l'universite ou je fais mes etudes actuellement; l'Universite de Melbourne!

  6. We spent a week around there one year. My niece was going to college in Paris. She was away for holiday and we borrowed her appartment. Somewhere around Rue de Grennelle. Wonderful time.

  7. I love the movement of the young man - his youth and energy - in comparison to the grandeur and age of the surroundings.

  8. Nice ceiling. And surprising to see something like that in France.

  9. California, Oslo… holidays, week-ends throughout the world most of the time… it's a good business this PDP of yours, isn't it ?
    ;o)
    I hope you'll be back soon for a Sex & the City dinner with your nasty friends in Paris !

  10. So many universities have wonderful, beautiful buildings and the students are always too busy and preoccupied to notice.

  12. I stayed at Cite Universitaire, but it was the Norwegian Building. If you ever get a chance, can you take a picture of the outside. I don't have one. Silly me.
