We spent a wonderful 5 days in Paris end of August. While there was some rain a couple of days, it was a really beautiful time to be here.
Of course, no amount of pictures can truly do justice to this beautiful city, but sharing a few of my favorites.
C&C welcome.
The thing I enjoyed the most was walking along the Seine, so will start with a few shots of the beautiful cityscapes to be had at almost any place along the river
1. Pont Des Arts with the Institut de France on the left
2. Musee d'Orsay from Pont du Carrousel - just as a storm cleared and the setting sun came out under the clouds
One can't help but be distracted from the sights by the equally high-quality food, and the venues the food is imbibed in
3. Place setting ready at a restaurant in the Montmartre neighborhood
4. No better way to start a morning in Paris than fresh baked croissants and breads
5. Or Cruffins
With the occasional side-walk bar when my camera and I needed a break
6. Taking a break from the sights with a half-pint in a side-walk cafe-bar
This handsome fella was taking a break too - right in front of the Louvre on Pont Royal
7. Just taking a break from all the walking
And then there's the tower - there is no escaping it anywhere in Paris
8. From the Place du Trocadero - one of the best places for a complete view since its at the perfect height and distance
9. Zooming in to the base gives a sense of its scale
No visit to Paris can be complete without a trip or three to the Louvre. I will only take a couple of personal favorites - everyone knows there are high quality images to be looked at elsewhere.
10. The Coronation of Napoleon - Jacques-Louis David at the Louvre
11. The Sabines - also by Jacques-Louis David
Thanks for watching. Hope you like them and C&C welcome.
