Cité des sciences is another famous place in Paris. It's main goal is to spread scientific and technical informations to the public.
The big ball you can see on the picture is named géode and is a very special cinema where you can see some films on a 1000 square meters hemispherical screen.

Paris, tourists waiting to climb the Eiffel tower

Paris, tourists waiting to climb the Eiffel tower

 

Another image from our recent visit to Paris.

This day there was just one lift working and i guess some people had to wait a very long time ... This image was done in the very late afternoon but a few hours before, the queue was really longer.
Personally, we choose the scale. Waiting time was very short, the view is amazing and that's really not a hard climb.

Paris and the Invalides Museum from the Eiffel Tower

Paris and the Invalides museum

 

The Invalides museum was built in Paris in 1670 by king Louis XIV to help the soldiers seriously hurted and disabled during the wars.
It includes a church (under the golden dome) in which are stored the ashes of Napoleon Bonaparte.

Paris, Montparnasse and Military School from Eiffel Tower

 

I'm just back from Paris.
I had to spend a few days in the big city to meet some clients. It was not really a photographic trip but i had some free time and a camera ...

This image was done from the Eiffel tower and shows the Montparnasse tower which is one of the highest building of Paris (it was the highest until last year). In the foreground you can also see the famous Military School which is more than 250 years old.
