Métropolitaine
Posted 2 May 2007 - The Hague (NL):
One of the things I like most about Paris is le métro. Especially when it turns from subway into uhm.. overway. When it appears above the ground. It's a lot more practical from a photographic point of view as well. So before proceeding to the very reason I went to Paris this time - to take photos of Dutch tourists - here's two photos of subway-above-the-ground:
- Line 5 crossing the river Seine on the way to Gare d'Austerlitz. The little spot on the river bank is an old man enjoying the sunny weather. The road along the river is packed with cars heading for the banlieue (outskirts) and/or Province (everything French that is not Paris);
- Line 2 on the way to the Etoile. The two ladies in the front probably - judging on the cap sticker, the poster one is holding and the facial expressions they've put on - just attended a speech by the socialist presidential candidatum, Ségolène Royal.
