Kerouac: Thanks for the lovely walk, and most of all, I guess, for the geographical education about Right and Left. Makes sense.
Love your photo essays, and this one certainly does show some lovely buildings.
Keep 'em coming!

When you finish examining la haute bourgeosie of the 16th, be sure to visit the Grand Palais between Sept. 26 and Jan. 14th for the Bohemes exposition ! And, thanks for the great photos. I lived in the 16th in '64 and got hitched in its Mairie.

Thank you for yet another wonderful photo essay. Nothing beats a "stroll" through one of Paris' neighborhoods after a long day at work.
I stayed at the Marriott on Avenue Raymond Poincare last year and thoroughly enjoyed the location. Although I wasn't so fond of the 7 euros mint tea at one of the cafes in Place de Victor Hugo!

Thanks, kerouac. I was remembering my first time in the 16th, which was my first time to Paris as a student. I couldn't remember what Metro stop until I saw "Michel-Ange - Auteuil" in your report. That's it! My college professors lived there. No, they weren't rich. They lived in the tiniest apartment I've ever been in (and I used to live in Manhattan). In fact, they had to split the class in three, to have everyone over for dinner at some point during the semester. It was a beautiful building and block, though. I've been back a couple times since - chocolate shop, Marmottan, some other reason I can't recall...
I also enjoyed the East/West discussion, and agree that the Right Bank/Left Bank stereotypes are completely outdated. It's kind of interesting to know, though, that I just happen to stay in an arrondissement that aligns with my politics. ;-)
