A Long Walk

We saw:

A Metal Church (Église Notre Dame du Travail):


A beautiful apartment building, built in 1910, Paris' "Belle Epoque."


Another beautiful apartment building, this one built in 1903, as "Maisons Ouvières," workers apartments. They still are that.



A houseboat we might be able to afford.



And Hector Guimard's masterpiece of Art Nouveau architecture, Castel Beranger. This private building has a courtyard and when two workman came out of the courtyard, I caught the gate before it closed so we could go in. Unfortunately, then we couldn't find the button to unlock the gate and let us out. So there we were, in the very private courtyard of a very private and famous apartment building and no way to get out. Laurie eventually found the button and we got out without a problem. Got some great pictures, too.
