Quai de Valmy / Rue Lucien Sampaix

Apartment building with grey shutters and practical wrought-iron balconies on Rue Lucien Sampaix beside Canal Saint-Martin in Paris under a dramatic cloudy sky.
Just a few steps from Quai de Valmy on the Canal Saint-Martin, this apartment building at the beginning of Rue Lucien Sampaix  demonstrates that Parisian character doesn't always rely on elaborate decoration. Simple shutters, practical wrought-iron balconies,with great views and clean lines create a façade that is quietly attractive, while the cafés below bring the street to life. Sometimes it's the more restrained buildings that blend most naturally into the Paris streetscape.
