Rue de Rivoli / Tuileries Garden

Opéra / Champs-Élysées, Paris

A Preview

"You've reached the Rue de Rivoli — the long straight street with the endless stone arcades. Arch after arch after identical arch, running toward the Louvre one way and the Place de la Concorde the other. Napoleon the First started these arcades. Haussmann stretched the street and made its discipline the template for the whole city. One design, repeated until it becomes a skyline."
