The Banks of Insanity
You thought YOUR bank was mad when they didn’t want to grant you that little $10,000 loan for that new car? Well check out THIS bank and see who you think is maddest now!
It’s actually all a marketing exercise for French cinema golden boy Luc Besson’s latest creation, from a picture book with the ground-breaking (what, again?!) animated / live action film coming out in about a year’s time!
THIS is why I love Paris! And it’s just opposite the unbelievably beautiful Paris Opera Garnier, as pictured by JM just below. You’ve gotta be here… you’ve just gotta be here!
This really is crazy!!!(And beautiful!)
guys….
A very warm welcome from the Metroblogging Team out in Karachi, Pakistan.
Hey, Inspirex! Great to hear from you in Karachi! You can be sure I’ll be paying you a visit shortly! Thanks for taking the time.
Life here in Paris is a strange mixture of emotions… as I see it anyway. And I just try to capture a few of them - it’s a great city for that.
I’m looking forward to discovering Karachi too.
All the best, from Paris,
Sab
I used to bank with BNP but stopped and actually left them with nearly 400 francs in my account because to take them out would have cost me about 600 francs. They were criminal. Now I see what they did with my 400 francs.
If I’m not mistaken, I believe that the BNP on the Champs is fitted out in a similar fashion. I’ve only seen it during the day, but it must be quite the sight at night.
Yes Jennifer, there are three branches done up like this, at Opera, on the Champs Elysees and on the boulevard St. Germain, and they are spectacular and surreal!
