Here is a very famous theater in Paris that I've been willing to show you for a long time, but I never managed to. As you can see it's really beautiful, but there are 3 trees in front of it and from spring to autumn/fall, there are too many leaves on these trees. I'm still not too happy with this photo, but at least you get to see something! Le Bataclan was built in 1864, it originally had a Chinese architecture (which you can see here) and it was originally a "Caf-Conc" (café-concert) where people could dance. Now Le Bataclan offers a wide range of shows from rock concerts to stand-up comedy and still offers a dance floor from time to time.
It's an impressive building, and I can see the Chinese influences.
ReplyDeleteI have a similar issue with a former church I'd like to photograph- trees in the way, but this time of year, I ought to give it another shot.
Or buy a chain saw LOL!
DeleteNever heard of this one Eric, but that's not a surprise. I"ll keep this for future trips!

I'm glad I made you discover something! I often have the feeling you know Paris much better than I do!
DeleteWhat a fascinating and colorful building!
ReplyDeleteIt looks to be in great shape despite its age. Wish I could say the same.
ReplyDeleteI think you've captured it beautifully!
ReplyDeleteToulouse-Lautrec attended, and drew there I believe!
ReplyDeleteReally? that's possible, but I thought he was a Moulin Rouge kinda guy...
DeleteWow, how striking! This is definitely going on my list for my next visit, thanks.
ReplyDeleteI think you took your shot of this place at exactly the right time, Eric.
ReplyDeleteYou make me discover something every day, Eric ! If it can be my little Thanksgiving to you witness !
ReplyDeleteHow many Parisians really know this architecture for the Bataclan? The place is well known but I'd say the building is less... Maybe it is only me...
ReplyDeleteA fine building it is.
ReplyDeleteI've already been to concerts at la bataclan... But never realised how nice it was outside ;-)
