Paris – Métro Station Cité

MadhuEurope, Photo StoriesParis, World Heritage Site81 Comments

Cité, the only metro station on the Île de la Cité – the island where Paris began – is better known for its original, Hector Guimard designed, sinuous green cast-iron entrance (above). But its interior is no less appealing.Until next time…..happy travels no matter where life takes you.

Wow, I remember the signs but not the interior, what a gorgoeus glow !
1. Madhu says:

  We wouldn’t have noticed the lights, if we hadn’t taken the stairs Gilly. Easy to miss them from the platform level, especially if you have your nose buried in a map 🙂

Incredible point of view. More of this world needs illumination in lamplight, if you ask me. I’d have never seen this place if not for you.

  Credit to hubby for spotting this photo op! I was intent on getting my sore feet up the two flights of stairs. Good thing we discovered the automatic elevator, right beside the staircase, after we had reached the top! 🙂
