What a beautiful city. I was very excited about the opportunity to visit Paris it did not disappoint. It is architecturally stunning, historically so well preserved and just plain classy.
The first thing I saw in the distance flying in was the Eiffel Tower. This famous landmark seems to appear around every corner and it was amazing to actually see it for real.
The River Seine flows slowly through the city and is a nice place to be, either walking its banks or on the water itself.
The Arc de Triomphe marks the start of the Champs Elysees in grand style. I just had to wait for a red light!
The Louvre is a collection of many buildings, both the old and the new.
Notre Dame Cathedral is enormous.
There is a Pantheon in Paris, but quite different to Rome's version.
Sacre Coeur is located on one of the few hills in Paris and although the weather was poor that day, the church still looked against the grey sky.
Seems appropriate to finish this blog with just one more view of the Eiffel Tower...
Paris is certainly a grand city. There is so much to see and it really needs at least a week or more to do it justice. Four days was as long as I was able to have and that was great but not long enough. Thanks John for fantastic photos and bringing back some happy memories
