Beautiful area at the back !
The spire is the
Église du Sacré-Cœur de Gentilly
We didn't go into the church, it appeared to be closed.
The Biermans-Laportre Foundation
Every year the Cité Internationale accommodates 10,000 students,
researchers and artists in its 40 houses.
The houses are from countries all over the world.. very interesting
to see the differences. Click on the link
above, and have look! I would like to go back and have
a longer look round.
I am enjoying this tour as you have seen things that I missed. Diane
ReplyDeleteBravo again Anne. Actually the old place looks like it has gotten a nice clean up/clear up. It was definitely a rambling/sprawling expanse of dorm houses, green sections and sculptures. your photos present it so elegantly.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fabulous tour that you have taken us on - just beautiful!! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Diane . Jenny and Cathi.. Very happy that you are enjoying the tour .. it was new place for me , pleased you like my photos.:-)

Oh, this was so lovely to read and see the pics. Your site looks delightful. If you'd like to visit me, I have a Paris site as I think Paris is such a wonderful city and I visit as much as possible..:)
ReplyDeleteI've been there a couple of times and found it so interesting. There are a couple of really interesting blocks with lovely homes there too.
ReplyDeleteWow, thanks for that new look at the Cité Universitaire. I always thought of it as "that place I have to go to get my resident card", but it certainly is beautiful. I'll have to take a better look around next time I'm there!
ReplyDeleteI am catching up this evening on blog reading and am enjoying your tour of Paris. It looks like you had gorgeous weather on this last trip.
ReplyDeleteLove the sculptures.
ReplyDeleteHi Anne,
ReplyDeleteWell done!
You are right about this area meriting another look. It is very interesting indeed.
The French are so stylish.
