Paris theme mini golf!


Paris Plage (a temporary "beach" along the Seine and Canal Saint Martin that goes live every year between mid July and mid August) has started, but I still had not shown you a single photo of it. So here is one... I took it by the Bassin de la Villette where people can sail, play soccer, boules... and a Paris monument theme mini golf. That is precisely where I took this photo and you probably recognized the Sacré Coeur. Click here to see a broader view of this mini golf and understand better how it works.

  2. I'm glad you had the linked photo. This one is deceiving, I thought the cut-out was much bigger!

  3. Very fun. What was your score? On the mini golf! Sheesh, these Parisiens...

  4. Wow this is a tricky one. You really need to see the other perspective to get this. At first I thought you succumbed to one of those fancy filters on Picasa, but no. Very cool Eric.

  5. It's not an Olympic Sport yet is it? Perhaps next time. Then we (UK) might have a chance of getting a gold medal.

    Congratulations to France in the swimming - 3 golds! President Hollande was at the aquatic centre to witness it all, looking a lot drier than at his inauguration. ;-)

  6. I like the concept. A great way to spend the afternoon with some famous Paris monuments!

  7. I just love this! I'd love to know who designed these, they're so cute! :D And the colors of the sky seem to flow right into the cartoon cutout. I'd market them in a smaller version as one of those fold-out or assembly required greeting cards. Or,larger, as a 3D puzzle. I bet the tourists would buy them up!

  8. Love the way you shot this, with that beautiful sky in the picture, but was glad to see what it really looks like too. Fun!

  9. @Petrea, Alexa "I'm glad you had the linked photo." Yeah I know. I did not like the other one, but it gives a much better perspective. I had to chose between aesthetic and depiction, tough choice!

    @Jeff "What was your score?" LOL! It's for kids and I no longer belong to this category I'm afraid...

    @Michael " At first I thought you succumbed to one of those fancy filters on Picasa, but no. " Tss tsss like I would do such a thing...!

    @Drummond "President Hollande was at the aquatic centre to witness it all, looking a lot drier than at his inauguration. ;-) That is VERY funny (as usual!). Thanks for the congratulations. The Britts are not doing too well on the medal front?! Hey you cannot have it all; you get to organize the games (and to pay taxes accordingly!) and we get the gold LOL (that is only jealousy talking...)

    @Golf School "I like the concept." I bet you do! I really wonder if you're a regular visitor or just an Odesk operator who got a Google alert on "Golf"!

    @Carrie. Yes, it's pretty well made. The event company that made it was interviewed here, if you're interested.
