Love this window dressing just outside the Louvre in Paris. The update with neon brought it alive and happy!
Medium to smaller format recommended.
Around the Louvre
The neighborhoods around the Louvre, from the Faubourg St-Honor� to Les Halles, are a study in contrasts, from tr�s chic to trendy, with the Louvre in the midst of the bustle. The impossibly posh Rue Faubourg St-Honor� has been a fashionista destination for three centuries, as popular now as it was when royal mistresses shopped here. Just about every chic boutique has a branch here, and this is where you can find some of the city's best hotels. Once the stomping ground of kings and queens, today it's home to the French president and the American and British ambassadors. To the east, Les Halles has risen from its roots as the city's vermin-infested wholesale food market to a booming quarter with expensive apartments and shops, caf�s, and bars centered on Rue Montorgueil, one of the city's oldest market streets and today the epicenter of one of the city's hottest neighborhoods.In between, you can find some of Paris's top draws, namely the mighty Mus�e du Louvre and, next door, the majestic Jardin des Tuileries. The garden is home to the Mus�e de l'Orangerie, with its curved galleries showcasing Monet's Water Lilies, while the nearby Mus�e des Art D�coratifs is a must for design buffs. In the Place Colette, the stately theater, the Com�die Fran�aise, is still going strong after 400 years, and at the edge of the square is the psychedelic sculpture�doubling as a m�tro entrance�of the kiosque des noctambules (kiosk of the night-crawlers), designed by artist Jean-Michel Othoniel.
