PARIS......part 3


The River Seine

Lost the sign for Champs-Elyse'es , maybe another post!
L'Arc de Triomphe

What  an imposing landmark. It was built by Napoleon as a tribut to those who fort for France.
Twelve major avenues radiate from this Monument. 50 metres High, underneath resides the
underground station.

If you fancy a walk to the top....284 steps. Wow, a panoramic view of the city.
Like a piece of cheese 'squashed between bread! Obviously waiting for some T.L.C
Want to buy ? dont even think about it. Paris real estate for the VERY wealthy!

THERE SHE IS.....OH TAKE MY BREATH AWAY!

  1. Wonderful photos, you got to see so much is a short time, so happy you did!
    Can you believe I climbed to the top of the Arc de Triomphe ? All the converging roads make a star pattern, quite fascinating!
