After our most interesting trip to Saudi Arabia, as promised, we went to Paris for a vacation. Marguerite had been to Paris many times but this was a first for George. Paris was much more exciting than George imagined. |
Notre-Dame Front ViewA little chilly in Paris in November. But lines were not long. This is the front of Notre-Dame. |
Notre-Dame Back ViewNice park in the back with roses still blooming. |
Versailles PalaceVery large Palace but I was disappointed. Not enough glitz. |
Versailles ChapelThe chapel was nice. It is a small church to us poor folks. |
Versailles & Louis XIV StatueYou build something like this and your statue would be up front too. |
A Little Lunch for MargueriteMarguerite had a nice Crepe Suzette with Wine at this outside Versailles Cafe. |
Famous Art Colony of BarbazonMarguerite doing a little shopping shopping shopping in Barbazon. |
Winged Victory in the LouvreIn order to keep peace, Marguerite when that away and I went this away. We met two hours later. |
Ex-Italian Makes GoodFamous painting of Napoleon crowning himself Emperor. |
Ferris Wheel at the ConcordI got Marguerite to ride this thing. This is the square where Louis XVI lost his head (and so did his wife). |
Arc de TriompheWe stayed about a block from the Arc. Very surreal turning the block and seeing this every day. Here you see Marguerite shot after another day of heavy touring. |
Napoleon's TombVery large building/church with Napoleon and some of his relatives entombed. A very large military museum also is part of this area. |
