Bits of Paris [02] - The Frescoes of Abbesses

Metro-M.svg AbessesParis m 12 jms.svg
Abbesses , One of the many stops of the Parisian metro. Line 12 that took me to the Sacré-Cœur Basilica at Montemarte 
Abbesses is special because not only is it 36 metres underground its spiral stair case is decorated with hand painted frescoes the entire length up.
Of course there was an elevator but I refused to rob my self of the experience. 







The Abbesses station exterior also showcases a architectural love of mine.Art Nouveau.
Quite sadly I also didnt get to photograph it .Sorry guys.
