Sleep well, Petite France... Photo Gallery by Marisa Livet at pbase.com

Sleep well, Petite France...

Like thousands of many other people
I have been deeply attracted
by the charm of this neighbourhood of Strasbourg,
called “Petite France”
( unluckily the name, which means “Small France”
has not any poetic origin –
as tourists might imagine - ,
since it was taken from an old hospital for sexual diseases,
which was built here during the 16th century,
but, this is, of course, another story…)
***
I decided to show this district after sunset and during the night…

What a wonderful gallery! It might be petit France but great imagery of it! Interesting background info as well! A hospital for sexual deseases and now the home for the European Parliament (at least partly) What a strange history :-) (V)

Oh, dear Marisa! You've captured my heart yet again. My new plan is to move to Europe to travel via small, used motorhome (with my new Vespa in tow) all over France and Europe until I get sick of it. And Strasbourg is very high on my list of places to 'camp' for awhile. Your captures here are magical. Reminds me a bit of Annecy. Thanks for the inspiration.

Guest		16-Oct-2007 08:53
De belles images encore. Ma préférence va vers celles au crépuscule, avec un ciel encore un peu lumineux qui renforce un peu plus l'effet des couleurs. On a envie d'entrer dans toutes ces maisons très hospitalières! Vote.

Another stunning gallery, Marisa! The exposures and reflections are truly wonderful. Petite France never looked better!

Herve Blandin		15-Oct-2007 17:55
Une tres belle galerie "tac au tac", apres celle de Jean-Claude. mais oui, l' idee est lancee, il faudra recommnencer a Noel!

Jean-Paul PLUME		15-Oct-2007 17:24
La Petite France est déjà douce et belle d'avance, mais vue de cette façon, une petite part d'enchantement prend place. Les lumières de Noël ne sont pas encore là et pourtant, j'ai comme l'impression que les maisons ont été disposées avec leurs lumières un peu comme des santons dans une crèche. C'est une galerie absolument merveilleuse que je regarde avec des yeux d'enfant. Jean-Paul

Liz Bickel		15-Oct-2007 16:09
