METROPOLITAIN—Classic signage for the subway system in Paris was designed by Hector
Guimard, one of the leading lights in the Art Nouveau (circa 1880-1910) art and
architectural movement. This image is of
the Cite stop on the Ile de la Cite, where one exits the subway to visit Louis
IX’s Sainte-Chapelle and other sites. Photo by Phyllis Shess, April 7, 2013.
