How confident are you that it - amazingly - still may exist? I assume that would include 1930s furniture as well as the original apartment fittings. Also, I want to take advantage of your offer to non-Smart device owners to receive the itinerary of your Concrete walking tour, including a Germain Dorel site. How do I do that?<br /><Lindanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7725154806633928919.post-85261312615938259622013-06-28T09:51:02.963+02:002013-06-28T09:51:02.963+02:00Tim: That photo was taken from the rear.

The same angle from the front is probably more interesting still, but that entrance was 'guarded' by around 15-20 young men who didn't seem keen on having their photo taken!Adamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06453626318828119830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7725154806633928919.post-55524324661971031432013-06-28T09:49:10.402+02:002013-06-28T09:49:10.402+02:00Frank: I'm not sure it would ever have been a ...Frank: I'm not sure it would ever have been a prestigious address, but it was certainly 'avant garde' - and the architecture is an interesting example of this. What is interesting here is that it remains frozen at this period in time. Had Le Bourget remained the city's leading airport, this whole area would be buried under concrete, motorways, train lines and high-rise hotels.
