Paris at Velib pace


I've spent the last two days riding around Paris using the Velib system, or their bike share.
It's hard to bike 10 minutes without passing something monumental..

Beyond la Peripherique!

Francoise Fromonot (the intrepid) leads us on an adventure past la peripherique into the suburbs of Paris. We follow the Roman aqueduct and the history of the city's growth beyond the arrondisements and choose our sites for our semester project: housing for international students.













Into Paris


Walking from the north gate into the Faubourg, then the Beaubourg, then onto the heart of Paris, the Île de la Cité.
