March 2008

Paris

Off to the Gare du Nord.....

.....on the train.....


A long weekend in the romantic capital of the world....well...for some...me...the history....the galleries...the sites...the....

Chocolate.............!!!!

But first....off to Montmartre...and the Roman Catholic church on the hill....

Sacre-Coeur, or, The Basilica of the Sacred Heart

One has to rest ones feet occasionally....here I am at the hotel-la-la.....


With a fine boulevard view.....


And after a rest...off to see a few things.....Notre Dame de Paris....or

Our Lady of Paris......

Heres something thats been erect since 1889 for the Worlds Fair....

Eiffel Tower

The Eiffel Tower was the tallest man made structure in the world until the Chrysler Building in New York dethroned it.  So....

....better get up it and take a look....

.....at the view...........anyone would think its the tallest 
structure in France....and it is...!

...ooooooooooh.....the viewwwwwww....!!....
