Paris

Here are some pictures from a very short 2 day visit to Paris.   We stayed on the outskirts of town and really enjoyed walking down the market street, Levis which was near our hotel.  We also went to what is supposed to be the world's largest flea market.  We had a lot of fun and picked up a few paintings along the way.

<p>Built in 1897. <br />
Architect : Charles Girault. Surface : 77.000m2. <br />
In the 1960s architect Le Corbusier wanted to destroy it to built his own museum. But he died in 1965 and the project was not achieved. <br />
In 1975 it was classified as a monument. But in 1993, an accident during an exhibition, decided the authorities to close the huge building. A rivet fell from 35m on the crowd. The steel structure was aging and becoming dangerous. It was closed and nearlty abandoned during 12 years. The administrations of the city and and the ministry of Culture could not find an agreement... welcome to France, a country full of treasures, ruled by incompetents. Meanwhile, private investors were flying over the location dreaming to buy it in such a central place... Then the building was written under a protection law in 2000. <br />
The problem of the building is that oen-third of it is built on marshy ground.   The building's foundations—partly consisting of driven oak piles supporting stone or lime-concrete footings—are subject to fluctuations and a progressive lowering of the water table. And the 224 meters long steel structure has no expansion joint ! <br />
But the story ends happily, and the building was restored during 6 years, even finding back the original colour of the steel structure: the factory still exists today (RIPOLIN : a miracle in French industry), and could rapidly give the reference of the paint and give to the structure its original 1900s appearance.</p>
