Jena is everywhere

Jena is everywhere. In this case the Iéna metro station underneath Place d’Iéna, which divides the Avenue d’Iéna, which leads down to Pont d’Iéna at the foot of the Eiffel tower. Paris, exactly.
Why did they name it that way? Napoleon, battle, 1806. Check your history book.

 

(but the real Jena metro is a restroom underneath the fountain on Jenas market place. 😉)

Early morning street scene in Paris. A group of kids on their way to the Louvre.

Recently I have been on a short trip to Paris. Always such a great city to stay in. As a tech nerd, the first highlight on a trip to Paris is the 320 km/h high speed train ride from Germany. (ICE to Paris, TGV Duplex from Paris. Highspeed travel in the upper deck. Another tick off my bucket list.)
