Galerie Vivienne

  "Galerie Vivienne, built in 1823, is one of the most iconic covered arcades in Paris. In a peaceful location, behind the Bibliothèque Richelieu and near the Palais-Royal, it's definitely worth a visit. Visitors can admire the colourful mosaics on the ground and then lift their eyes to appreciate the beautiful glass roof which lets in the light. There are many of shops: ready-to-wear boutiques, tea rooms, gourmet food boutiques, wine cellars, grocery shops, old bookshops and much more. You can also access Galerie Vivienne via Rue de la Banque and Rue Vivienne."   Source: https://parisjetaime.com/eng/culture/galerie-vivienne-p1588

The Fountain of the Rivers

 

The Fountain of the Rivers - Jean-Louis Bouzou

The Fountain of the Rivers
(La Concorde, Paris)

‘There are two majestic fountains that steal the show at Place de la Concorde. Completed in 1840 when Louis-Philippe, the last king of France, reigned supreme, the Maritime Fountain (the one closest to the Seine) honors maritime commerce while the Fountain of the Rivers, to the north, pays tribute to the abundance of the Rhône and the Rhine rivers.’
