Paris in pictures

Front entrance to Notre Dame De Paris (Our Lady of Paris) otherwise known as Notre Dame Cathedral. 

The home of Quasimodo - Beautiful Notre Dame

Quasimodo- "a courageous heart beneath a grotesque exterior."


Incredible from every angle


The west rose stained glass. This is mainly purple on the inside and is still mainly intact in it's original state. 

La Siene.
The Siene is the resting place of Joan of Arc's ashes. There are countless Parisian histories surrounding this beautiful river. Crossed by 37 bridges in paris alone, the Siene's banks have been heritage listed by UNESCO.  

La Metro. 

There she is 

Condom machine next to the ticket machine at the metro station.

Even the drains are beautiful in Paris.

Eiffel Tower

View from the first level of the Eiffel Tower.
The Gold dome is L'Hotel national des Invalides, a complex of museums and monuments relating to military history.



The 669th step of the Eiffel Tower. Yeah, I climbed that.

Lady on the Tower.

C'est Manifique










Cherry Blossoms for Grandmere 

La Metro at La Louvre

Louvre


Ceiling in the Louvre. Many ceilings are now difficult to see because they have netting covering them for protection. 

The Winged Victory of Samothrace - a 2nd century BC marble sculpture of the Greek goddess Nike (Victory).

I forget what this is called, but the snake is chewing on her nipple, so I thought it best I took a picture.



There's Mona Lisa, and her millions of fans, lining up like little sheep.
They push to the front, snap some photos and push out again.
