Discrétion

This building (which incidentally is rather nice don't you think?) located on Pershing street in Picardie neighbourhood has always intrigued VDP. There are lots of CCTV cameras everywhere and no identification signs... VDP asked around and one of her faithful versaillais readers came up with this: it's very hush-hush, possibly something to do with NATO... Whatever the case may be, VDP has always liked the rider on the gate!

Ce bâtiment (au demeurant assez beau vous ne trouvez pas ?) situé rue Pershing à Picardie, a toujours intrigué VDP. Il y a plein de caméras de vidéosurveillance partout et pas d'indications sur ce qu'il abrite... VDP s'est un peu renseignée et l'un de ses fidèles lecteurs versaillais lui a indiqué qu'il s'agirait d'un discret centre ayant un rapport avec l'OTAN... Merci Dominique ! Quoi qu'il en soit, VDP a toujours adoré le cavalier de la grille !

  2. Oh, yeah! There's a building near me bristling with cameras and that has every window covered with shades around the clock. Better not to ask questions. ;-)

  3. It's a beautiful building, whatever it is.

    The espionage writer in me is saying DGSE safehouse.

  4. Good grief! Half of it is older than Methuselah and the other half is CIA modern. You betcha there's lots of dark deeds going on in there...and I'll bet the USA is in the thick of it. :)

    The rider in the gate is just plain weird!

    Have a great day on Thursday!

  7. The gate and the building are both gorgeous. I love a good mystery. I'd like to think that mysterious top secret things go on inside.

  9. No guard at the gate, only the horse and rider?
    I love a good mystery (house).

  15. Re your comment on Ocala: I love the phrase, "very Versailles." Maybe you could write a song with that title?

    One verse could go like this:

    The homes are all so beautiful
    The trees reach to the sky,
    I get lost in all the loveliness,
    It's so very Versailles.

    OK? You do the rest and the music.
