Last night I was talking happily with a friend about her coming trip to Paris (next year) - about the ex-railway walk now called the Promenade Plantee, and how she planned to walk along it - it makes this morning's terrible news feel very immediate.  Borders are closing - France and Belgium - and I imagine more.  Special solidarity to [personal profile] azdak  and my friend P. and all those working to resettle refugees - this is going to make it so much tougher.  also those working for the Paris conference next month.  

editing to add:  okay, in the spirit of not letting cruelty and rottenness dominate the post, here's a picture of a building which can be seen from the Promenade mentioned

I think it's a highly dodgy image for a police station, myself.  She thought it was great to see such verve and decorativeness still happening in architecture.  Opinions?  Or suggestions for other great not-well-known things to see walking around Paris?
