Night and Day

The eye-catching métro entrance on Place Colette was designed by French artist Jean-Michel Othoniel on the occasion of the line 1´s centenary in 2000. The "Kiosque des noctambules" (Kiosk of the night-walkers) consists of two cupolas - one representing the day, the other the night - made of coloured glass beads, threaded on a structure of aluminium.

  2. This Métro is so close to the flat where I have been staying lately and it is beautiful day and night! I do love the area.

    Bises,
