"I Bet That You Look Good On The Dancefloor" - Arctic Monkeys

A photo of the parisian Techno Parade. Not my favorite kind of music at all but a nice show in the streets. If you want to see more photos, click on the link to my Flickr page.

"Bartender Blues" - George Jones

For those of you who don't know, there is a Rugby World Cup in France. I like the sign of this australian bar, with this big crocodile.

"Old Rub Alcohol Blues" - Dock Boggs

This sign is above a perfume shop. It seems to be an old colonial sign (full of history) and the contrast between it and the perfume shop seemed interesting to me.

"Swan's Splashdown" - Perrey & Kingsley

This sign is located in the corner of the Saint-Denis street & Cygne (= Swan) street in the 1st arrondissement. It's written : "Au Beau Cygne" (= Beautifull Swan's). I think it was the name of a shop wich doesn't exist nowadays. The mosaic is a little bit damaged but it doesn't seem to bother the pigeons who choose to nidificate behind.

"Summer In The City" - Butthole Surfers

Paris-Plage (the beach in Paris) is open since friday 20th. There is a beach open along the Seine banks with the sand, the games and the palm trees. This year, a a nautical base have been set at the Villette bowl, in the north of Paris. I'll post some more photos the next days.

"Irish Pub Song" - Flogging Molly

Let me show you an Irish pub (yes, it's really an irish pub !!). I've never seen a pub like this one, with these colors, this architecture (enlarge to see the owl on the top (or it's a barn-owl ? I don't know). Unfortunatly, I don't have been in this pub so I can't tell you more about it. It reminds me the photo of MacDonald's I posted in April.

"Paths Of Victory" - Cat Power

Today, the Place du Chatelet. In the center of this public square, there is a foutain, La Fontaine du Palmier ("The Palm-Tree Fountain") and a column. This column was erected in 1808 to celebrate the victorys of Napoleon and the sculpture on the top represents the Victory, with the crowns of laurel in each hand. On the shaft of the column, you can see four allegorys : Prudence, Temperance, Justice & Force. (informations founded on Wiki and Paris199.lartnouveau.com)

"Green Fields" - The Good, The Bad & The Queen

This vegetable wall is on the front a parisian shop, the BHV. The name means "Bazar de l'Hotel de Ville" ("the Stores of the City Hall") because it's located in front of the City Hall. The one on the photo is a new, dedicated the the Mens. I've never been in this shop so don't ask me if it's interesting. The BHV is one of the three big store in Paris with the Galeries Lafayette and the Printemps ; they attract a lot of tourists during the year.

"Meet Me In The City" - Blues Explosion

This fountain (the Innocents fountain) is located in the center of Paris, in the district of Chatelet-Les Halles. it's the work of two architects, Jean Goujon between 1546 and 1549 and Augustin Pajou in 1788. Augustin Pajou did the 4th part of the fountain following its installation in the center of the place. Nowadays it's a meeting-place when you want to see someone (but it's crowdy, mostly during the week-end !!).

"Out Of Time" - Chris Farlowe

A part of the Quincampoix street, a very old street in the 1st arrondissement of Paris.

"Grey Day" - Madness

A parisian building in the grey sky (note the architecture of the roof).

"Keep It Cool" - The Aggrolites

A picture of a very quiet corridor of the metro.

"I Wish" - Babyshambles

A little view of the "Colonnes de Buren", a monument wich created a big polemic in 1986. You can make a wish while launching a coin on the column ; if you touch it, your wish will be fulfil (I didn't try).

"Down In The Tube Station" - The Jam

Today is lily of the valley-day, demonstration-day and rest-day.
And now something completly different : I found this very original metro station near the Palais-Royal (metro station : Palais-Royal Musée Du Louvre).

"Paris Paris" - TTC

A view of the obelisk of The Concorde place, the "Dome des Invalides", "l'Assemblée Nationale" or the traffic jam this afternoon, the choice is your ...
