For this theme day I have chosen the building of the French Institute. Actually its not always blue…but in July when they celebrated their 60th anniversary the whole building was shining in this great blue color. The French Institute is a great cultural center they always bring a little French athmosphere to Budapest:) Behind the building you can find a French restaurant. I never visited yet because I am still not ready for snails:)

Good choice for blue. Snails with butter and garlic isn’t bad…give them a try.
The façade matches the sky!
My first stop would be the French restaurant.
I’m with Denton…and if the snails are prepared well…yum, yum.
Oh shame on you.. You should get prepared for the snails because they are delicious! And how nice could it be to dine in such a beautiful restaurant with the strangely color spreading on the building but at the same time intriguing all the passer-by! I love the blue!
That sure is blue, alright. And you don’t HAVE to eat snails, you know…
Nice picture! We, strange french people, don’t eat only snails ;) Actually I tried snails first time with hungarian friends (one for them three, and the eleven others for me…)
Sorry, I mis wrote my url :(
superbe photo, la lumière est très belle, en plus l’institut français ;o)
Superb photo, the light is very beautiful, in addition to the french institute ;O)
Hey Zsolt, thanks for this – we are going there on Saturday with our kids’ French teacher!
That is an amazing blue! Like the color of an electric arc.
I like your photo. Not only does it have blue, it also has tints of pink and purple.

Cheers!
this is a very BLUE building….
Very cool building with a beautiful blue glow.
its nice! i like the blue and the reddish mix below..
you should try the snails. i am sure they are excellent!
Happy Theme Day!
I like the lighting on the building for blue theme day.
The blue lighting makes the building look fairly interesting. I bet it looks awful in normal daylight.
