le bar panoramique à l'opéra Bastille

We finally attended an opera at opéra Bastille (le roi Arthus by Chausson). The opéra Bastille is much more interesting on the inside than the outside of the building suggests. And the bar panoramique probably has the best view in Paris. It is hard to see in this iPhone panoramic photo, because it makes everything, except Silke's nose, but including the glass wall itself (which is not actually curved), seem smaller that it actually looks, but you can see the towers of Notre Dame, the Panthéon, the Eiffel tower, and canal and many other landmarks.

place de la République, January 11

There are a zillion photos of the demonstration on the web. But for the record, here are a couple of mine.
