Topic: Solved: Welcome to the Pleasuredome

[Wendax]

After we had the straightforward Peugeot 205 rearlight puzzle, here's a brainteasing group puzzle. Below you will find 34 pictures. Seventeen of them show people or places one might connect the feeling of pleasure with. The other bunch of 17 show "domes", well, at least buildings. Your task is to find the connections which might be of varying character. Some are easy, some are not. One point for each correct pair with the right connecting reason.

Have fun!

Yes, you almost earned your point. Tell me what that nice lady in picture A is promoting. The building behind her might help. A-10 locked for you.

Yes, that was an easy one for a fashion expert.

I'm not sure, but I think she is promoting the Renault exhibit at the '58 Worlds Fair.

I'm not sure, but I think she is promoting the Renault exhibit at the '58 Worlds Fair.

Yes, well guessed. She's in front of the French pavillion.

Ah, I can see what attracts you most. 
Yes, the third lady in this puzzle leads to what was originally known as the Paragon Technology Centre.
Well done!

There still is a painting of a nice lady, but then you have to turn your mind to other pleasures.

B & 13;
B is the designer Carlo Mollino in his siluro ( I add a picture of this car naked)
13 is Turin Teatro Regio, one of Mollino masterpieces.

Yes, nothing to add.

I'm not sure at all, but I guess G & 1:
G looks like a monument and the years I can read are birth and death of Karl Benz, so I suppose it is a monument dedicated at him.
I remember that during the first journey that Berta, Benz's wife, did with a model Velo, she was forced to buy some petrol in a chemist's (in German Apoteke) to be able to reach her mother's home, perhaps in Karlsruhe.
Now, in Pleasuredome n.1 is possible to read Apoteke, so I've thought it could be a drawing actually of that Apoteke.  Perhaps you'll think I'm really mad

N & 4

N is a restaurant and bar, in Salzburg Austria, built in the shape of a car.

4 is an interior view of the bar area of that building.

You're not mad, you just make good use of the clues I left there. You are right so far. To obtain the point, just tell me where the Apotheke was where Berta Benz bought some Ligroin. G-1 locked for you.

Yes, tell me the name of the restaurant bar and the point is yours. N-4 locked for you.

According to a source I found in the net, Bertha stopped at Wiesloch.

[Craig Gillingham]

J is a mens Canali clothing store in Paris. I think this links to 9, Garage Marbeuf, a Citroen dealership that was at 32-34 rue Marbeuf Champ Elysees in the late 20's. The building still exists, but now contains office spaces, bars etc, including a Canali store.

Yes, it is.

Well done, we're starting to crack the harder nuts now.
