April in Paris ...

Thanks to friends Roy and Marj we spent a week in Paris with a day trip to Brussels for lunch.

While Susan swam I wandered the streets shooting.

 Then we went to see Eileen Gray exhibition at the Centre Georges Pompidou

 from where there are views of construction.

I was trying for the iconic Paris shot but this woman in red kept getting in the way....

An eye-catching display in a hardware store.

Chairman Roger encourages us to try something different - here's what happens when shooting from a bus....

We had never been out to La Defense, the office building complex on the outskirts.  As if the architecture wasn't amazing enough, there's public art too!

 From the new arch you can see Arc de Triomphe de l'Étoile.

 A Calder 'stabile', as opposed to one of his 'mobiles'.
