Mexico | Paris

Mexico - Guimard

This is another example of a Paris-Mexico exchange. One of Bellas Artes metro station's entrance is a copy of a Guimard station's entrance in Paris. I'm not sure, but I think in Paris you have a copy of the entrance to a mexican metro station.

Mexico - Carrusel

This one is at "La Feria", one of the two largest amusement parks in this city, but it's easy to find carrousels -albeit smaller ones- all over Mexico.

Paris - Carousel

There are still many old carousels like this one all around Paris.

Paris - Taxis

French taxis waiting for customers in Paris in front of the Meridien hotel at Montparnasse. In fact there is no ecologic taxis in Paris and neither green car.

Mexico - Taxis

Mexico city is full of this green VW taxis. They are green because they're supposed to be ecological (new ones are white and red) and the letter L on the license plate stands for libre [free], which means you can catch them anywhere on the street, rather than at a taxi stand (those have an S).

Paris - Galeries Lafayettes

Shoes shinners are really really not easy to find in Paris. These two are inside the Montparnasse Shopping Mall in front of the Galeries Lafayettes... A security guard was just around me saying photo are forbiden inside the shopping mall that is why i have to steal it (and also why quality is so poor).

Mexico - bolero

Although they're more easily found in or near parks, shoe shiners can still be found in the most important avenues of this city...

Mexico - pink graffiti

graffitis are the same everywhere, i guess. the color of the wall is known as mexican pink and it's used a lot [just see the market]

Paris - graffiti

Paris - Le marché

In French "le marché" (Market in English) is the word for open air market. In Paris every  area got his own "marché", you can find the list here (in French!).
