I have been in Paris often, but never saw this. I'll keep it in mind for next time.
Impressive place. Great shot.

A bit too far for me to come - but isn't it fantastic! Love the choice of colour & symmetry.
Cindi Smith12-Apr-2009 05:08
Not sure where this is....love the perspective and the light is perfect. A really nice shot!

Aaaahhhh...that explains the decor. I was thinking they might have re-decorated the Louvre. LOL When I saw "Winged Victory" in the Louvre, as I recall it was on a landing with steps leading up to it.

Thank you Richard for your clever comment !
Yes, it is the "Victoire de Samothrace", but a copy.
The original is at The Louvre Museum.
Here is the Concorde-Lafayette lounge. At the Porte Maillot.
:-)))

"Winged Victory of Samothrace" is one of the most powerful pieces in the Louvre, and my personal favorite. This is a different display than when I saw it there in the 80's but no less recognizable. Splendid exposure and composition of that magnificent place. Vote
Best to you, my friend,
Dick:)
