Back from Paris! Pics and Vids

[Miss Z]

Next, the Louvre







This is a sculpture of the Roman Goddess Diana (Artemis in Ancient Greek) in the Louvre. Photos were restricted in most of the museums we visited so that's why I don't have too many pictures of them. And yep, I've seen the Mona Lisa



The Pompidou Centre. Didn't get time to go inside this place unfortunately, but it still looks pretty wacky from the outside



Les Invalides



Napoleon himself is buried in a vast tomb beneath this dome in Les Invalides



Lots more to come...

[Miss Z]

La Grande Arche. It tipped it down later on that day, as you can see from the dark clouds



The beautiful Notre Dame, inside and out











And the view from the top



Yep, still a lot to come....

Keep 'em coming kiddo. I am fascinated!!

[Miss Z]

Musée d'Orsay, which used to be a train station but is now an art gallery








Another art museum, the Musée d'Orangerie



And also the Picasso Museum

[Daisy and Delilah]

Gorgeous pictures Zara!! What a wonderful trip it looks like you had. I'm with Donna....tell us all about the trip. My daughter just returned from a fabulous cruise. They flew to Rome to get on a ship there. They visited many places and countries. I can't wait to hear about your trip details
WELCOME BACK!!!!!

[Miss Z]

We passed the lovely Academie Nationale de Musique



A couple of views over the Seine





I took a random photo of a couple of ponies and donkeys in the Place de la Concorde



These following pictures are a little blurry, they were taken on La Bateau Mouches, a boat trip along the Seine at night. It turned out that there was a Stag Party of Dutch men on the same boat as us, and the whole boat erupted into yells every time we went under a bridge! Katherine has some fantastic videos of this which I'm sure would make you laugh





This picture was an accident, invented by Katherine. Take pictures of lamposts and move sharply just as the lens clicks. The lights look like they're dripping.



Still more...

The obelisk



I took pics of quite a few statues, this was one of the 'good ones' (LOL)



Les Jardins du Luxembourg



The Sacré Coeur, and that's myself, Victoria and Kathrine sat on the steps left to right




Montmatre was a great place, a little too many artists trying to draw us perhaps, but lovely all the same. Funnily enough, we all ended up feeding bits of ice-cream cone to the pigeons and sparrows for most of the time





Still some more left....

[Miss Z]

OK, now some pics of us girls!

(One of the few that I featured in)









LMAO, a boy bought this hat and everyone just had to have their pic taken wearing it, including me



And my higlight of the trip coming next.....

[Miss Z]

La Tour Eiffel!!!!



We went up the Eiffel Tower by night, it was just so amazing. I couldn't get the best of pics from the top as it was dark and very windy (so windy that little kids were sliding across the floor if they stood still!) but I loved every minute of it.





A final pic of the Gare du Nord, on the way home



And that is all of my best pics, so I hope you enjoyed seeing them as much as I enjoyed taking them!
