So . . . could this be our last big European destination ?


( * click on the images to see the full size version )


Weird and wonderful vehicles to be seen in Paris.

Never seen a Mini with a proper boot before.


The last vineyard in metropolitan Paris !





Looking down part of Montmartre.


Did I say 'gorgeous little cafes everywhere !' ? ... oh, I just did !




There's a panoramic photo of Paris at our - Panorama page.




I spotted quite a bit of street art and stenciling.











The La Defense area of Paris.

... where alot of the high rise buildings are.





Looking from La Defense back up to the Arc de Triomphe.








It's Paris, so we have to do the Musee de Louvre !




Special access - you just have to know the right people.
( you may see the Mona Lisa behind us somewhere )


This is very tudor-ish for France, isn't it ??





Look into the bubble and you will see the Eiffel Tower.



Visiting Sacre Coeur, at the top of Montmarte ?
You must visit the shops ... in fact you cant avoid them !







Our favorite restaurant . . .

... and the lovely staff ( our lovely waiter in the middle )


And speaking of French male style - here's a selection.



Shame about the weather, but we popped in to see La Geode - housing a 360 degree hemispherical IMAX screen at the Parc de la Villette.
Nothing we wanted to see that day unfortunately.



View from the Pompidou Centre.


There was a great exhibition on called 'Dreamland' about all the fantasy parks and expositions of the world and a fabulous presentation on design, but this is from another part of the galleries - and it's a dress made out of meat.


I almost forgot ! - we went to visit the Palace of Versailles too -





See you soon !
