This
is one of my favorite pictures of the Le Grande Roue (Ferris
Wheel) from outside
the Jardin
des Tuileries. I spent a lot of time taking pictures in this area,
but ironically, have never been inside. But I plan to remedy this on my 2006
trip as I'm sure my nephew will want to ride. |

Jeanne
d'Arc now directs traffic in the Place des Pyramides in Paris. I checked, and
although she is the patron saint of many causes, she is not the patron saint
of terrified passengers in Paris taxi cabs or tour bus operators (many of the
tour bus companies are located nearby). Check
out this eerie story about the girl who modeled for this sculpture created by
Daniel Frèmiet in 1889. |

This
is a shot of the Pantheon from my 6th floor window at the Abbatial
Saint-Germain Hôtel in the 5th arrondissement, which is where I like to stay as it's only a
couple of blocks from Notre Dame and the Seine. I remember when I first saw it
in 2000. My sister and I just walked around the corner and there it was (I couldn't
see it from my hotel window on that trip). That's one of the neatest things about
Paris; you never know what you'll find when you turn a corner. |

I
had wonderful clear weather on my trip in 2004 and got a lot of detailed shots.
I know some people think Sacré Cour is kind of tacky, but I think it's
just part of the quirky side of Paris and is appropriate to Montemarte. |

I
love the Musée
d'Orsay, both for the beautiful building and the Impressionist
art, which is my favorite. This shot of the clock was taken from a trip down
the canals on the Seine (an interesting half day trip to take if you have the
time). |

This
is of course the fantastique La Tour Eiffel overlooking the Trocadéro
from the plaza between the Musée de la Marine and the Musée de
l'Homme. |
