Description
Almost every day of my short visit to Paris, I roamed the banks of the River Seine, and there's an incredibly rich tapestry of architecture crowding along the river in that ancient city. It makes sense of course, not so very long ago, rivers were our highways! And the Seine looks like an amazing highway, so of course, some of your best buildings are on that desirable river frontage.
The Louvre Palace, now one of the world's greatest museums, has prime real estate on the Seine and what a statement it makes from the river, don't you think! It definitely states regal rather loudly.
The Louvre like many long-lived buildings is a mixture of centuries of architectural styles, but I believe this section facing the river is part of the French Renaissance Style. In black and white, the graphic quality of that old world architecture really stands out.
