Paris

Perfectly framed through a stone archway is the 17th-century built dome of the Institut de France. The distinguished architecture has had many purposes over centuries, serving as a school, a prison and presently it's open to the public so all can enjoy the preserved piece of history.

This image of the Institut de France was taken from the southern side of the outdoor corridor along Cour Carrée. I stood facing south toward Pont des Arts for this perspective of the dome. By Metro: - Closest station: Louvre-Rivoli (via Line 1) - Head south on Rue de l'Amiral de Coligny toward Place du Louvre - Turn right and head through the archway that leads to the courtyard - Turn left at the fountain
