You should know it by now! Paris has applied to host the Olympics in 2012... Everywhere you can find the Paris 2012 logo, on the town hall of course but also on the Parliament (Assemblée Nationale), facades, etc. (remember this photo?). Here, it's a "sculpture" representing the Olympic rings. It is located in a field (near Les Batignolles a former village that was "swallowed" by Paris in 1860), which is presently used to park and maintain trains. If we get the Olympics, that is where the future village will be located.

  1. Tu l'as vu aussi, ce truc ! Quand je suis passé devant pour la première fois, j'ai eu honte. Dans le genre "sculpture" réalisée avec des vieux pneus de tracteur et un peu de ripolin, c'est fort ! Ca a du impressionner le comité de sélection des jeux...
