Paris By Cell Phone: Sept 29, 2010: Where Is It Wednesday?
What is this a photo of? You can win a coveted Chupa Chups badge and I’m not playing.
First answer in the comment section wins a coveted Chupa Chups badge (with even better prizes for repeat winners)!
Hmmmm…I can’t say exactly, but I will guess it is somewhere near Chatalet metro area. Near Tour St. Jaques. It’s like a theater or something like that. Completely off base?
Very good, BJ!
Congrats and here’s your Chupa Chup’s badge:
Thanks for playing,
Paris Paul
It is le Téâtre de la Ville (built by Haussman)!!!
So hungry for a Chupa Chups!
Genie
And here you are, two Chupa Chups for your second win.
Congratulations and keep up the good work!
It is at Place du Châtelet — tricky how you covered up the name on the building!
Genie
Yes, I did, but now I’m going to put the original photo back; the photo looks better with the name on it!
Paris Paul
I’m so honored ~ and on my first try ::blush::
Just goes to show how much you know!
Congrats again, BJ.
Ahh! I knew this one – Theatre de la Ville, thanks to the useful Sarah Thingy café! But now I see I’m comment 8 I won’t bother! I’ll be faster next time I know one, so I can get that second CC badge!
Yeah, I have the feeling people were hanging out by my virtual doorstep, waiting for the ‘post’ to be delivered. Anyway, someone with your breadth of knowledge about all things Parisian…it’s just a matter of time before you access the next level!
See you in the streets, Sab,
Paris Paul
Mille mercis, Paul! Can you tell me the location of the Metro on Laurent’s post (Daily Photo in Paris)? The “label” line says 5ème. Hummmm…? I am just curious.
“Hi” to Karin also!

Here’s a photo of the Sarah Thingy Café:

Genie – about your question. I found the post, http://dailyphotoparis.blogspot.com/2010/09/metro-entrance.html, and then I looked this info up on Wikipedia about the 5th. These are the stops:
“Line 7 connects the 5th with the 1st, 4th, and 13th, stopping at Jussieu, Monge and Censier/Daubenton.
Line 10 cuts east-west across the northern and most touristed part of the arrondissement stopping at Cluny/la Sorbonne, Maubert/Mutualité, Cardinal Lemoine, and Jussieu with terminus just east of the 5th’s border with the 13th at Gare d’Austerlitz.”
It has to be one of those if it is in the 5th. I was spending a little time checking out Google Maps on Street View to see if I could find it, but so far, no dice.
I found it! It is Métro Monge!
Have a great Paris day!
Genie
Thanks so much for getting back to us, Genie; this was driving us NUTS!
Paris Paul
Thanks for your help with this one. I am glad that there are others who are driven crazy to find a certain spot they remembered, a particular garden or courtyard, or simply a Métro stop.
Have a great weeekend!
Genie
