Glass theme day

Boulevard du Rhone
March 1st is Theme Day for City Daily Photo bloggers around the world, and our theme today is glass. You could count on me for working on reflections, couldn't you?
Above is a car (surely one of you will be able to tell me the make and type?) parked at the foot of the old city ramparts on Boulevard du Rhone and below is the glass entrance to the youth section (section jeunesse) of our beautiful local library, mediathèque Ceccano, in which you can see a reflection of St Didier church's belltower.

Le 1er mars est journée à thème pour les blogueurs du réseau City Daily Photo, et le thème ce mois-ci est "glass" (verre). Vous pouviez compter sur moi pour travailler sur les reflets bien sûr !
En haut, une voiture garée au pied des remparts sur le boulevard du Rhône (quelqu'un saura bien me donner la marque et le modèle ?) et ci-dessous, l'entrée vitrée de la section jeunesse de notre somptueuse bibliothèque municipale, la médiathèque Ceccano, où se reflète le clocher de l'église Saint Didier.

    Yes we could count on you, Nathalie. Love that car reflection and should know the car but I don't. Two beautiful photographs.

    I love the reflection in the windscreen. I was immediately transported to the 1940s resistance: felt hats, cigarettes askance, pin-striped suits (sans trousers - only skirts), hands outstretched in reluctant parting ...

    These are beautiful reflections, and the car is such a classic.

    Citroën dite "Traction avant", sans doute une des dernières versions car les essuie-glace sont en bas (la traction avant s'est fabriquée de 1934 à 1957).

    Not one but TWO splendid, well-seen shots. I adore both. Nice to see the car is a French classic. In and of itself it is very interesting, but viewing so much reflected from it is great, too. The belfry reflection is super, but the sign is right side round so I'm confused. Shouldn't it be backwards? Or is that just in mirrors?. . .
    Have a wonderful Sunday, Nathalie,

    I thought I left a comment here. If I did, just delete this one. Anyway, the old car looks to be in new condition. I like those straight no-nonsense windshields. It is perfect for theme day.

    I also remember windshields that cranked out so air, and bugs, came straight into the car. It was a nice feature when cars would only go about 30 miles an hour.

    chère Nathalie,
    Quelle magnifique reflet du ciel éphémère et la pierre sur la vitre.

    Quel havre divin pour les jeunes!CEtte photo me fond le cœur parceque j'aime écrire pour les jeunes.

    J'adore votre point de vue et la façon magique que la lumière joue avec les nuances de la lumière.

    Merci pour un autre chef d'œuvre. Alors j'ai décidé après tout d'envoyer mon message d'aventure cyber en privée ha ha.

    merci pour un autre chef d'œuvre.
    belle journée magique.

    Ce doit être l'intensité attractive d'Avignon qui crée des explosions folles de fenêtres sur les écrans d'ordinateurs du monde entier.
    Je ne vois que ça.

    Ton post est clair comme du verre.
    La voiture est nickel chrome et la réflection dans le pare brise impressionnante.
    Belle vue à travers l'autre verre.

    Very, very nice glass and reflection shots. What I am most impressed with though is how clean that car is. Going through winter here in the Northeastern US cars get so dirty from the sand and ice used to treat roads that it is a pleasure to see such clean cars:) Happy theme day!

    Jolies reflets rendus plus intéressants par une voiture d'une autre époque et un mélange des générations (qui incite au sourire )!
    Félicitations pour cette recherche.
    Pas évident de trouver autant de cohérence dans deux photos sur une même thème certes mais aussi dans l'interprétation que l'on peut en faire !
