Montparnasse cemetery

Montparnasse cemetery is,with the Père Lachaise and the Montmartre cemeteries, one of Paris place to be for famous people when they die. Here is one of the most visited grave in Montparnasse. It's Serge Gainsbourg's, a very famous French singer and writer who died in 1991. I know my blog friend Virginia likes him so here's one of my favorite Gainsbourg song to her and to people who don't know him :

Theme day : public transportation

The French "TGV" (High speed train) is certainly our number one public transportation. Here you see the Montparnasse railway stations with trains going west. You can for exaample take this train to the city of Tours ( Loire castles valley) that you wil reach within 1 hour instead of at least 2h30 by car (with no traffic which is quite never the case in Paris).

A statue on the Alexander III bridge and in the very far background you can see the Montparnasse Tower, Paris's only skyscraper.

From Paris with Love and bigger

"From Paris with love" is a movie tittle that just opened this week with John Travolta in the leading role as you can see on the Cinema front on the right side, and that's also I thought I'm sending to you.
I took this picture in Montparnasse where we have a lot of movie theaters. Paris is by the way one of the Capital cities where you can find the more movie theater. Last year the movie industry in France had a very good year with a 7% increase of tickets sold representing more than 200 millions tickets for the year (we're 64 millions).

Yes you may also have noticed that I changed for a bigger size of blog page. I hope you like it !
