Rue Beaubourg, Paris 4e

The rear of the Pompidou Center is intriguing all by itself, but when you look at it in a car windshield, it's a very different work of art!

The rear of the Pompidou Center is always intriguing: Bright colors, geometric lines, a cacophony of pipes... How to photograph that?

Rue Reaumur, Paris 3e

Harmonie, this sculpture is called. It is a work by Antoniucci Volti, who was born in Italy in 1915 and died in Paris in 1989, and the lady sitting there does not seem to care.

Palais-Royal, Paris 1er

Just off the gardens of the Palais-Royal, sixteen polished stainless steel spheres reflect the colonnades and the sky from slightly different perspectives. It is a work of Pol Bury and it is a fountain where, when it's working correctly, the water slowly turns the sphere and the reflected images evolve over time. And try not to get a picture of yourself!

Palais Royal, Paris 1er

The courtyard of the Palais Royal, with Buren's columns, from the balcony of the Constitutional Court. If you want to go, it will have to be during the European Heritage Days (Journees du Patrimoine) and you will have to stay in line for hours...
