Great capture ... love the blue sky and sunlight. The people going down the stairs is a nice touch too.

This art déco entries of the metro are really the most beautiful. This kind of art is timeless, it stays beautiful over all these years.

This is an architecture Art Nouveau, not Art Deco. This entry has been created around 1900 by Hector Guimard. Art Deco or Art Nouveau, in the two cases it's beautifull ! Thank you for this shot !

Sorry for this comment but it's not an Art Deco's architecture but Art Nouveau. This entry is a creation by Hector Guimard, about 1900. No matter, it's really a beautifull realization and a nice shot !
