With eagle's eyes you can spot PA_217 easily. This invader was deleted in December 2014 but was re-activated in the beginning of the covid-19 crisis in March 2020 and I never got the opportunity to flash this one to obtain the 50 points this one is worth on the wall of Square de l'ÃŽle-de-France. It was very well flashable from the Quai de la Tournelle. As close as possible along the waterfront, Port de la Tournelle in fact.

Pont des Arts 10/08/2015 16h51
A great lin d'oeil (wink) to the work of Invader made by Jace on the Pont des Arts. No the bridge without love locks.
It became far too much for this historical bridge in Paris. The thousands of locks, les cadenas d'amours have been removed to save the bridge. A new railing is on its way and in the meantime we can enjoy the art of 4 big names in street art, El Seed, Jace (visitble here), Brusk and Pantonio.
Jace
Jace est un graffiti-artist français, originaire de la ville normande, le Havre, il vit aujourd'hui à la Réunion.
Il est l'auteur des gouzous, petits personnages que l'on trouve dans les rues des villes et au bord des routes depuis 1992. Spécialisé dans le détournement d'affiches publicitaires, il a exposé ses œuvres aux quatre coins de la Réunion et du monde à plusieurs reprises depuis 1996. Il a également publié à compte d'auteur plusieurs ouvrages où l'on retrouve sous forme de photographies le travail exécuté sur le terrain. La qualité de ses œuvres lui ont valu plusieurs publications dans différentes revues internationales.
Le graphisme du gouzou a été utilisé sans son accord par une marque de vêtements chinoise relativement connue dans ce pays. L'artiste a intenté un procès contre l'entreprise pour faire reconnaître sa paternité, procès qu'il a gagné.
On l'a vu dans une trentaine de pays et territoires : île de la Réunion, France (Paris, le Havre, Rouen, Montpellier, Marseille...), Ile Maurice, Madagascar, Mayotte, Afrique du sud, Botswana, Thailande, Malaisie, Viet nam, Chine, Macao, Japon, Etats Unis, Brésil, Portugal, Angleterre, Allemagne, Maroc, Tunisie, Espagne, Luxembourg, Republique tchèque, Slovaquie, Hongrie, Italie, Inde, Hollande, etc

The most beautiful summary in mosaic tiles of the year 2020. The year 2020 was a bad year for Invader. In Paris he has placed only 18 new space invaders. In total he placed 102 space invaders, most of which of course in Marseille. The third wave in this city includes 84 space invaders. Due to the lockdown, there have been no other waves.
In 2020 the number of FlashInvaders users grew by 35,692 to 153,672 and a total of nearly 2.5 million space invaders were flashed!
This one is located in the 11th arrondissement of Paris and was number 3960 in the world.

PA_1205 [100 points]
I guess this is one of the biggest space invaders in Paris. Very well visible from the métro line 6 between the stations Chevaleret and Quai de la Gare along the Boulevard Vincent Auriol. Almost 3 three stories high on one of the buildings of Hôpital La Pitié-Salpêtrière. This character is nobody else than House (when flashing this one with the app FlashInvaders it says "HOUSE IS IN DA HOUSE".
House (also called House, M.D.) is an American television medical drama that originally ran on the Fox network for eight seasons, from November 16, 2004 to May 21, 2012. The series' main character is Dr. Gregory House (Hugh Laurie), a pain medication-dependent, unconventional, misanthropic medical genius who leads a team of diagnosticians at the fictional Princeton–Plainsboro Teaching Hospital (PPTH) in New Jersey. The series' premise originated with Paul Attanasio, while David Shore, who is credited as creator, was primarily responsible for the conception of the title character. The series' executive producers included Shore, Attanasio, Attanasio's business partner Katie Jacobs, and film director Bryan Singer. It was filmed largely in Century City. [ Wikipedia ]

May 1968. The volatile period of civil unrest in France during May 1968 was punctuated by demonstrations and massive general strikes as well as the occupation of universities and factories across France. This space invader is a commemorative invader of that period. In the matching colors red and white. Colors of the revolution.
A revisit and another photo during a walk in this neighbourhood.

Rue de Rivoli | Rue de l'Oratoire 06/04/2017 14h33
A beautiful fairylike part of the Rue de Rivoli with the Temple Protestant de l'Oratoire. And for the one's with eagle's eyes: PA_860 and GZ'UP.
Rue de Rivoli
Rue de Rivoli is one of the most famous streets of Paris, a commercial street whose shops include the most fashionable names in the world. It bears the name of Napoleon's early victory against the Austrian army, at the battle of Rivoli, fought January 14 and 15, 1797. The rue de Rivoli marked a transitional compromise between an urbanism of prestige monuments and aristocratic squares, and the forms of modern town planning by official regulation.
The new street that Napoleon Bonaparte pierced through the heart of Paris took for one side the north wing of the Louvre, which Napoleon extended, and the Tuileries Gardens. For the first time ever, a handsome, regular, wide street would face the north wing of the old palace. Napoleon's original section of the street opened up eastward from the Place de la Concorde. Builders on the north side of the Place Louis XV, as it then was named, between rue de Mondovi and rue Saint-Florentin, had been constrained by letters patent in 1757 and 1758 to follow a single façade plan. The result was a pleasing uniformity, and Napoleon's planners extended a similar program, which has resulted in the famous arcaded facades that extend for almost a mile.
Length: 3,070 meters
Width: 20 to 22 meters
Arrondissement: 1er & 4ème

Among various themes, they refer to movies and cinema but also to what Clermont Ferrand is famous for : its gothic cathedrale, its volcanos, its Michelin factories and its Serge Gainsbourg street" (Invader)

A classic sized re-activated space invader with mirroreyes on a very remarkable spot; the Monument à la République or Statue de la République. This statue is a monumental statuary ensemble, work of Leopold Morice. Inaugurated in 1883 on the Place de la Republique in Paris, France, it represents an allegory of the Republic. The original space invader is one of the 'oldies' from which I have never seen the original. Re-activated after an absence of about 12 years!

The first space invader of the third wave of Invader in Marseille I encountered almost one year after invasion. Till August 2020 I found and flashed all 13 space invaders of wave 1 (MARS_01 - MARS_11 - 2004 and wave 2 (MARS_12 and MARS_13). But during wave 3 in August 2020 the number of space invaders went up to 97. In total 84 space invaders on my list again. This MARS_75 was the first, on the station where I arrived by Thalys from Amsterdam.

On the last day of 1998 the Fontaine du Palmier of 1808 was invaded by this camo space invader. The original disappeared around 2018 and number 143 was re-activated in January 2020.

Pont du Carrousel
Pont du Carrousel is a bridge in Paris, which spans the River Seine between the Quai des Tuileries and the Quai Voltaire.
History begun in 1831 in the prolongation of the rue des Saints-Pères on the Left Bank, the original bridge was known under that name until its inauguration, in 1834, when king Louis-Philippe named it Pont du Carrousel, because it opened on the Right Bank river frontage of the Palais du Louvre near the Arc de Triomphe du Carrousel in front of the Tuileries.
The bridge's architect, Antoine-Rémy Polonceau, succeeded in a design that was innovative in several aspects. For one thing, the new structure was an arch bridge, during a period when most bridge construction had turned to suspension bridges; the necessary towers and cables would have been considered unacceptable additions to the Parisian scenery. The structure combined the relatively new material of cast iron with timber. Its gradated cast-iron circular supports were quickly dubbed "napkin rings" (ronds de serviette). At each corner of the bridge were erected classic style stone allegorical sculptures by Louis Petitot, which remain in situ. They represent Industry, Abundance, The City of Paris and The Seine.
In 1906, after seven decades of use, serious restoration was required; the former wooden elements were replaced with beaten iron. Nevertheless, the bridge was too narrow for twentieth-century traffic, and shifted alarmingly. In 1930, its height above the river was judged insufficient for river transportation, and it was decided to scrap it for an entirely new structure to be built a few tens of meters downstream from the former one, and with greater headroom on the river. The architects Malet and Lang attempted to respect the former aspect, which now had become familiar to Parisians. The new bridge of reinforced concrete still crosses the river in three arches reaching the right bank in front of the Louvre, in direct line with the Arc de Triomphe du Carrousel. For its lighting at night, the iron craftsman Raymond Subes conceived an ingenious telescoping system that raised the streetlights from a height of 13 meters in the daytime to 20 meters at nightfall when they were lit; however, the system is too fragile to be of any use and does not function.
On 1 May 1995, the Moroccan immigrant Brahim Bouarram drowned after being thrown from the bridge into the river by members of a crowd gathered by the Front National. In 2003, in the name of all the citizens of Paris, the mayor of the city, Bertrand Delanoë, honored the memory of Bouarram and all the victims of racism with a commemorative plaque on the bridge.
The nearest Métro station is Palais Royal - Musée du Louvre.
Length 168 meters, width 33 meters

Invader collaborated on the "Video Games Music" exhibition at the beautiful Philharmonie de Paris. For Invader, this was the opportunity to provide both the Philharmonie de Paris and the Cité de la Musique with no fewer than 7 new space invaders (PA_1562 thru PA_1568). I am posting them in the order in which I found them.
Monique Andrée Serf (9 June 1930 – 24 November 1997), known as Barbara, was a French singer. Her most famous songs include "Dis, quand reviendras-tu ?" (1962), "Ma plus belle histoire d'amour" (1966) and "L'Aigle noir" (1970), the latter of which is said to have sold over 1 million copies in just twelve hours.
Invader pixelized Barbara on the building of Cité de la Musique. Visible from Avenue Jean-Jaruès.
