I was not going to use this photo for its quality is really bad, but then I heard the news about the death of Whitney Houston, so I did... This bus is a "Disco bus"; it moves around Paris (very slowly) while people are dancing in it (I know it's hard to see!). Quite an idea isn't?! I took this photo on the river banks, just by the Musée d'Orsay, while I was passing the bus with my scooter. Have a look inside on their website... BTW, coming back to Whitney Houston, here in France, she's pretty famous for the encounter she had with Serge Gainsbourg on a television set (don't be horrified...)
It's a shame when an artist dies. But we'll always have her music. She was a great voice.
ReplyDeleteThis party bus looks like a lot of fun! I just added it to my Paris to do list for when I return.
ReplyDeleteRIP Whitney
I decided long ago never to walk in anyone's shadow; if I fail, or if I succeed at least I did as I believe. - Whitney Houston
ReplyDeleteIt is sad when such a talent is lost to the world. Ms. Houston had such a lovely voice. ~ V
I remember that video. He made me almost as uncomfortable as he made her. He acted like a creep but she handled it with grace.
ReplyDeleteHers is a sad story. I'm sorry she's gone.
What an idea with a disco bus, I'm sure it's great fun for all the young ones, but I don't think it'll ever make it to my "to-do-list".
ReplyDeleteYeah very sad with Whitney Houston, I'm glad we still have her music.
Oh my all time dream to go to Paris hope its this year would love to dance on this bus. So nice to meet you just found your beautiful blog so happy I did. I have enjoyed looking around and I'm now following you, wonderful to meet new friends. Hope you find a spare minute to visit me sometime I’m looking forward to keeping in touch. Hope you have an amazing Valentine’s Day.
ReplyDeleteLove her music RIP Whitney
Always Wendy
JUst found your blog and I like it very much. I was in Paris many many years ago and I hope to come back this year because it is so beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI am your new follower.
Have a nice day.

wow~ it's amazing bus!! I will hope to get on the disco bus abd then dance! just dance!! It will be fantastic experience. I hope so.. thank you for your great picture.
ReplyDeleteThis is always so much fun as it passes by. Everyone looks like they're having a blast!
ReplyDeleteWelcome Wendy and Riet. You'll find the people here a little "obsessed" but it's ok...they're safe! :-)
LOL I don't know about that, Michael!
ReplyDeleteThis bus probably would not be on my list of "things to do", but I hope they have fun. I'd rather go to the Musee d'Orsay! :)
I am not obsessed with Paris, Michael, or with PDP. I just need a daily fix, that's all.
ReplyDeleteI just love your Blog as it captures Paris like nothing else. Even if a photo is not perfect, it is like art and unique and captures the moment! C'est la Paris!
ReplyDeleteYou see what I mean Wendy and Riet? Christie is in denial and Petrea, well, let's just call her a very good actress shall we?
ReplyDeleteLOL Petrea!
ReplyDeleteLOL Michael and Petrea!! The bus looks like fun to me, too. Can't imagine the decibel levels inside that glass and plastic tube. And I bet the buses don't stay as pristine as they look in the ads. Thanks for capturing another totally Parisian thing I'd never have known existed. They sure do look happy to see Eric!!!
ReplyDeleteBonjour et bienvenu Wendy and Riet! Like Michale said "You'll find the people here ere safe! :-)"
ReplyDelete@Petrea "I am not obsessed with Paris, Michael, or with PDP. I just need a daily fix, that's all." Awwwwwwwwwwwwww!
I saw a bus like that in Brooklyn recently, but it was too dark to get a picture—I think your works great! Such a shame about Whitney Houston, but it seems drugs will trump talent every time. As for Serge, personally I always thought he was a bit creepy.
