PARIS - A Few of the Sights...

Yeah, the architecture was pretty phenomenal. The most iconic of Paris sights...

 The Arch d'Triomphe.  Followed by a close-up of one of the carvings.  They liked their ornamentation.  Guess they needed something to do after they got the grapes in barrels, eh?

Les Invalides.  The hospital for vets, essentially.  The dome is the church behind, connected to it.  It's also where they buried that short guy.

The dome.  It's all about the angles.

This is yet another statue on the bridge leading to Les Invalides from some other stop.  If I recall, I was crossing the street in front of the Grand Palace, dodging crazy Parisian drivers.  This day it was a little rainy but also there was this light fog going on... hence the mistiness of this one.

And a close-up of one of the statues on the bridge...

The Louvre.  Of course.  First one is looking away from the pyramid.  The place is just huge.  The second is yet another monument.  Then of course the pyramid.

Notre Dame.

Notre Dame's front door and some flying buttresses. 

A statue on the plaza outside the front door.
Okay, look close in the pic.  See if you see anything that probably doesn't look like it belongs... There is a second shot, with an arrow... but before you cheat and scroll way down, give it a shot. 

I'm pretty sure that isn't original to the statue.  It's just a feeling.  I could be wrong about that though.

Apartments.  Just some apartment buildings I liked... the area we were in was filled to brim with them. 

The Parthenon in Paris.  Having a little work done.

The Sorbonne. 

The Bridge they got from Russia.  A bit fancy.

And some narrow streets.  The smaller one is really small, but the ones around the hotel all looked like the bigger one.  Not big, just bigger... there were some really big boulevards around though...

And lastly, some monument that I can't remember what it's for, but they pointed it out and some church near the Parthenon and Sorbonne.  I thought it would make a fine weekend cabin, wouldn't you?
