Here is a place I've been willing to photograph for a long time! Yesterday evening I did. It's called Le Louxor, it's located at the famous Barbès Rochechouard corner (famous for its cigarette smuggling!) and it is one of the first cinemas/movie theaters in Paris. It closed in 1983, then was turned into a night club, then closed for good until recently when, under the pressure of a local association, the Paris town hall decided to renovate it. It reopened in April 2013. More here.
It looks quite dramatic lit up at night like this.
ReplyDeleteYou always bring us the most interesting stuff, Eric!
ReplyDeleteHow cool. Did you see a movie there? Are they showing movies regularly?
ReplyDeleteIt's an interesting story and a pretty building—but the way you shot it with the wet pavement and reflected lights . . . wow!
ReplyDeleteWonderful effect with the lights on the wet street!
