Windows & Balconies of Paris, on Rue Boursault.

Interesting building at No7 Rue Boursault in the 17th arrondissement which seems to be a slice of what was a more substantial building. The fact that it overlooks the train tracks at the exit of Saint-Lazare station gives us a clue. The street actually starts at No7 as 1 to 5 were demolished after  a railway accident in the Batignolles tunnel in 1921. The building rests on the 'Wagon Bleu' restaurant with its Orient express themed interior. 

“Look up, and Paris reveals itself one window at a time.”
