EUROPE JUNE 2008

Paris

 

The first Paris attraction I saw. Near the Caulincourt Hostel where I stayed.                                                                

 

                                                                                                  Pretty street on the way to the Arc de Triomphe.  Special path for bicyclers.

The massive Arc de Triomphe                                                                                                                       

                                                                                                                                               Tomb of the unknown soldier

                                                                                                                                               from WWI beneath the arc

                                                                           Tour Eiffel during the day; way bigger than I expected

 

 

                 It was much more beautiful at night                Inside Notre Dame (no flash allowed)                  Beautiful path leading to the Louvre                 

 

                                                                                                                   The glass pyramid at the Louvre entrance

                                              Pont Neuff                                                     The Seine and Notre Dame in the distance

 

                                                                                   

 

       Beautiful Notre Dame

                                                          Jardin des Plantes; many rare and beautiful plants here

Very nice rose trellises                                                                      

 

                                                                                                                    Soil map the size of the building behind it

 

La Jaconde (Mona Lisa).                                                                                                               

It was amazing to see in person,                                                                                                            

you cant figure out her expression.                                                                                                           

                     Cupid and Psyche in the Louvre.  One of the most amazing and beautiful statues I saw.         Hamurrabi's Code                                        

 

                                                                                                       Straight up from beneath the Louvre Pyramid
