The forecast was for rain showers (which for once was accurate) so we planned a walk through the old Grand Boulevards - the covered shopping arcades in the 2nd arrondissment.
We started at the Metro entrance at Palais Royal/Musee du Louvre - difficult to get a new angle on this odd structure.
We headed on to the Palais Royal to check out some modern additions to the ancien palais.
The famous colonaded courtyard was closed for rennovation - offering us only a peepshow of the contraversial art work. That was a great way to frame these views!
Crossing the courtyard near Biblioteque National (a disco for books?) we came across some interesting juxtapositions - the Romans are still there!
Into the arcades which offered dimly-lit views of curios and Christmas lights, and curious views in windows where reflections seemed to misplace items.
