La Grande Arche de la Défense, Paris. This thing really is quite grande, particualarly when you’re standing under it.
I walked to it, and was impressed by the scale of it, but it wasn’t amazing / boggling enough to do much for me. My main thought was that they hadn’t lined it up properly with L’axe historique.
I like architecture that is mind-boggling, and sufficiently strong in itself to banish thoughts about whether it’s in line with other stuff nearby. TBH I was more curious about the cemeteries west of La Grande Arche than I was about the arch itself.
No challenge / beef / diss intended, just sharing my view on things. 🙂
