Le Grand Palais, a magnificent building located off the Champs Elysées that was built for the Universal Exposition of 1900 (and renovated between 1993 and 2007) is currently sheltering a huge amusement park for the Christmas period (until January 5th). I love this building, especially its inside staircases that I photographed here from above. Have a great pre Christmas Sunday last minute shopping if you celebrate it!

ReplyDeleteBeen so busy with Christmas preparations (not to mention work!) that I've been neglecting PDP.
ReplyDeleteSo I'm playing catch-up—you've had some great shots lately (especially loved the Pont de Bercy).
Today's shot made me a bit dizzy though. :~}
