Old and New Paris Juxtaposed

One of my favourite posts on this blog was Rephotographing Atget. Christopher Rauschenberg's recent photos of Atget's sites intrigued me and it's worth a visit.


Today I discovered the ParisAvant site (via Polly Vous Francais) and have spent way too much of this Sunday morning checking out the juxtaposition of old and new views of Paris - like the images of the Fontaine Medicis above. I wish recent photos of the Nag compared as favourably to pictures of 20 years ago.
