Final, random shots of Paris

We only had a few days to catch a glimpse of Paris… I suspect we will return some day.

Arc de Triomphe

The Arc de Triomphe de l’Étiole (Triumphal Arch of the Star) by night.

Photos from the Louvre

Some photos in and around the Louvre museum (no art photos here though).

Montmartre

Montmartre is another “standard” tourist destination which we only caught a glimpse of near dawn.

ɕ


Orsay museum

The Orsay Museum is an architectural delight in itself!

ɕ


The Eiffel tower

Quitessential Paris (or total tourist kitsch) depending on who you ask. :P

ɕ


Luxembourg gardens

A neat little fountain and shady seating area in one corner of the Jardin de Luxembourg!

Notre Dame de Paris

We had the relatively rare treat of first seeing Notre Dame pre-dawn.

Photos from our very brief glimpse of Annecy. Tres belle!

Few more photos from Lac Bleu

A few more photos from my visits to the Lac Bleu above Courchevel.

Pointy but pointless

Longplayer

While I was wandering around Trinity Buoy Wharf (where the Chainstore parkour facility is located) I discovered this sign. A musical instrument designed to play, without interruption or repetition, for ONE THOUSAND YEARS ?! Yes, seriously. Check out http://LongPlayer.org

Now that we’re back…

Now that we’re home and have offloaded all the photos, I’ll be sifting through the rest of the photography. I put up a good bit via Instagram in real time, but there are a few more albums (and perhaps some stories) I want to post.

Night bus tour of Paris (5/6)

Some random ‘building’? Sorry… not sure which one, but the entire city is lined with incredible architecture.
