Focus Week - Commencing 12 October

During this week, I spent 3 days in Paris for my friends birthday - this was a good chance for me to look at buildings and landscapes in France.

Centre Pompidou: Constructed from 1971 to 1977. It houses a large museum and library, the largest in Europe. The architectural style of this stunning building is classified as Postmodern/High-Tech.

Structure: Steel superstructure with reinforced concrete floors.
Architects: Renzo Piano and Richard Rogers

Sacre Coeur: Huge religious history, and is the highest point in France.
a cathedral sitting a-top a steep hill attracts many visitors and is a truly remarkable place. Its a shame about its surrounding landscape, as it deserved better.

Architecture style: Romano Byzantine
Architect: Paul Abadie

Notre Dame: Gothic Roman cathedral, like sacre Coeur it is very popular and attracts many people.
