Galerie Vivienne

Galerie Vivienne is an undercover passage in the 2nd arrondissement in Paris, which was built in 1823 and has been classed as a historical monument since the 1970s. It's not as popular as it used to be, thanks to Haussman's redesign of Paris, but it's nevertheless a worthwhile thing to visit while being a little further off the tourist trail. - Lucy

Beautiful photo. Lucy! The straight lines of the atrium roof are nice in contrast to the curves of the flooring. I love how they managed to bring so much natural light into the building. Nice.
