Sights from several walks on the west side of town...
 |
| Interesting hotel hotel |
 |
| Interesting shopping center right by... |
 |
| The main train station (entrance); unlike many places, in a nice part of town |
 |
On a given block you're apt to see art deco, nouveau, beaux arts,
brutalist...anything...except the very old |
 |
Brick art deco PTT building; "postal, telephone, telegraph"; in days
of yore, when we began traveling in Europe, you had to go to the PTT
to do an ET (call home) |
 |
| Three graces... |
 |
| One of many such |
 |
Not so many like this; we theorize it may have been the European
headquarters for Airstream trailers |
 |
| Deco |
 |
| Note painting at top |
 |
| Street scene |
 |
| Pretty typical deco near city center |
 |
| One man's messages on the beach along the Promenade |
 |
A typically French thing is to place large educational exhibits
in public places...on topics historical, cultural, scientific... |
 |
| This one scientific...with due credit to the researchers... |
 |
| Ocean temperatures depicting a warming planet |
 |
| A melting pole |
 |
| Colonial past... |
 |
| Peeking out from a 6-8 story building |
 |
| Murals and such everywhere |
 |
| The old Gare Sud, now the site of a large market and food hall |
 |
| Place Charles de Gaulle |
 |
| Le Chamber de Commerce |
 |
| Almost any bare wall gets a mural or maybe trompe l'oiel windows |
