Versailles city centre's ugliest building (in my humble opinion), the Tribunal de grande instance, first degree civil law court, reflected in a window for James' Weekend Reflections.--------------------------
L'immeuble (à mon très humble avis) le plus moche du centre ville, le TGI, reflété dans une vitrine pour les Reflets du Weekend de James.
Well, ugly though it may be (and I agree with you about its ugliness), but it sure makes for a good reflection shot!
ReplyDeleteI think it's unanimous; it is pretty ugly. I like the pattern in the reflection and the bonus reflection in the car windows!
ReplyDeleteLooks a bit like a radiator.
ReplyDeleteAnother good reason not to be a lawyer. I've thought about doing a bad architecture series but never got around to it.
ReplyDeleteInteresting building in that reflection.
ReplyDeleteOh, you're back and I'm leaving. This makes for a good reflection shot though. We'll meet up again soon!
ReplyDeleteThat's a building? I thought it was an old railroad car. MB
ReplyDeleteMakes sense. Merely having to visit becomes the beginning of a punishment, at least for those interested in aesthetics.
ReplyDeleteWell, I don't know if it's the ugliest...but from what I can see from your other photos, it sure ain't the prettiest :-D
ReplyDeleteWe certainly have uglier buildings, always public ones, but this is quite well placed in any list!
ReplyDeleteMaybe it was designed this way to stand out from the beautiful buildings?
ReplyDeleteUn beau reflet d'une chose laide reste un beau reflet!
ReplyDeleteTGI, I learned another abbreviation today with you.My teacher said French speakers like to do these abbreviations, like QCM( questionnaire à choix multiple) or un SDF.It's cool!!!
ReplyDeleteThe reflection is perfect in your picture, very well captured.Maybe the architecture is simple compares to those classic buildings in Paris, I don't know...
Have a nice weekend!

Oh my! It really is out of place in Versailles.
ReplyDeleteYes this is a very different type of architecture for your beautiful area
ReplyDeleteNot the most attractive building for sure. But you got the reflection right!
ReplyDeleteIt is indeed ugly, and (as B SQUARED wrote) it is out of place in Versailles - but ugly and out of place as it is, it isn't as bad as le centre Pompidou...
ReplyDeleteon dirait un radiateur ;o) mais il te donne une bonne idee de photo pour le reflet du jour. Bon Weekend
ReplyDeleteYes, it is ugly, but a great reflection and that's what counts today! Hope you have a great weekend, Ciel!
ReplyDeleteSylvia
Rather the ugly duckling reflected there... not sure it's ever turn into a swan, though! :-D
ReplyDeleteÀ mon avis... you are right but you took it and made a great reflection. I wonder why in Versailles of all places the government would build something out of the character of the ville.
ReplyDeleteBon weekend,
Genie
Ah oui, pas terrible, comme bâtiment... Mais cela fait un bien étonnant sujet de refle(c)t(ion)...
ReplyDeleteIt may be ugly but it makes a great reflection. :) Welcome back!!!
ReplyDeleteI agree with you. What are those stripes or slabs of vertical concrete?
ReplyDeleteI love the way the titles sound so dignified in French. I agree, it is not an attractive building. It certainly doesn't look "French."
ReplyDeleteI agree ... It doesn't look very nice, but the reflection does :o)
ReplyDeleteVous le gardez ? Vous avez bien de la chance ! Le notre ferme à la fin de l'année, il avait pourtant plus d'élégance.
ReplyDeleteHehehe! Every town has at least one ugly building. :) Cool reflection though!
ReplyDeleteYeah... not so nice.. Quite stripy and boxy.
ReplyDeleteFunctional, maybe. And the people inside probably are more productive what with not having to worry about their appearance. Well, maybe not...
ReplyDeleteHee hee I read the radiator comment and now that it is mentioned, it does look like one.
