Modern Meets Medieval

Or 'Modern Medieval Marais' if you prefer, because that's where this

extraordinary passage lies, in the old Marais district.

 

One of my photo tour clients yesterday told me that the curved

cobblestone gutters are the last original ones where people in the

capital would throw away their personal waste products - lovely!

 

Now the Swiss Cultural centre shares this atmospheric alley with some

wonderful sticking-out bits of building (that's the technical term)

with some decidedly unmedieval but colourful graffiti. Eye candy.
