Curiosities of Paris, part XII !!!

Looking at my blog, found some emblematic pictures of places written before but really need to tell you more. These are from my eternal Paris and brings back many memorable moments of my life. Nostalgia sets in and here I go on the curiosities of Paris, Part XII !!! Hope you enjoy the post as I.

Let me tell you about an interesting building , the Faculté de Droit or Faculty of Law of Paris. Before the creation of civil law chairs in the 19C, the Faculty of Law of Paris was called “Faculty of Decree”  in former French “Faculté Décret”. The decree was the part of the law which did not belong to the ecclesiastical courts, that is to say, the civil law and the criminal law of the king. Specializing in this interesting area of ​​Parliament, the University gained a reputation for authority on these issues throughout the West. In 1771 it received a brand new building near the Pantheon, the one it still occupies today (see photo). It was closed, like the other French faculties, by the French revolution, on September 15, 1793. The “School of Law of Paris” was re created in 1802, and became by the decree of March 17, 1808 organizing the Imperial University of Paris. The “New Faculty of Law of Paris”. In 1896, it was grouped with the other four faculties in Paris to form the new University of Paris. You can take a very nice walk as such: Facing the Pantheon, turn left on the left of the Pantheon, stay on the right sidewalk along the Pantheon, which is on your right. At the end of the square cross rue Clotilde and continue straight, you are in rue Clovis  on the right sidewalk and you pass in front of Lycée Henry IV (see post) which is on your right.  Continue to the next intersection and turn right on rue Descartes, go straight on. At the next crossroads, cross and continue straight ahead, you are in the rue Mouffetard, continue until the place de la Contrescarpe! Awesome Paris , unique, eternal, the only one !!!

The train station of Saint-Lazare,  or Gare St Lazare (see post) is one of the six main stations terminus of the network of the SNCF in Paris. Located in the quartier of Europe neighborhoodt of the 8éme district or arrondissement, it is one of the former heads of the West-State network. First station built in Île-de-France region  since 1837 and mainly used since for suburban traffic, it is the second station of Paris and France by its traffic and the second of Europe. My first station working in Paris back in 2003 !!

The work of the Passage and Cour of Amsterdam sector,a side seldom seen or photograph by visitors was  completed in 2008, just while I was still using it to come in from River Droite in Versailles! , consisted in widening the existing passage to the Impasse d’Amsterdam  leading to the street of rue d’Amsterdam (see photo above) , with the creation of a real secondary entrance on this axis. They have metamorphosed this space to make it more modern in its architecture, more accessible to travelers and more secure. A new mainline sales area with sixteen counters has been set up opposite the platform  27, replacing those removed in the sale des pas perdus as part of the third phase of the renovations.
