Berlin - Bavaria - Paris - Bastogne - Christmas Markets -- our German vacation was so full of spectacular sites, that I just would not be able to fit it all in one blog! Therefore, I will write this in sections, with each major segment of our trip having it's own post. This is segment 3: Paris! We have been planning this vacation for years! Well, sort of. My friend and old co-worker, Lisa, is ... Read Full Entry

I love to travel! Love to "see the sights!" I decided to start this travel blog to add some story to our trips. As it is now, I upload the pictures to some site, and that's about it. This blog will allow us to tell the story that goes with the pictures (and help remind me of any details I forget down the road ;)). I will try my hardest to add new trips to this blog in a timely manner! If you find that I post something that happened ages ago, it's probably that I forgot to post about it and just randomly came across the pictures! Hope you enjoy! ... full info

The Louvre

This is a sort of panorama of the front courtyard. The ticket booth and entrance is actually right at the large pyramid

Entrance to the Place du Carrousel

To get to the Louvre by car. This road leads to the traffic circle and the square that is at the entrance of the Louvre.

Looking back at the Louvre from across the Place Carrousel

The Arc de Triomphe du Carrousel would be behind me.

Arc de Triomphe du Carrousel

Not to be confused with the famous Arc de Triomphe d'etoile! This arc is much smaller. It was built in 1808 and was the entrance to the Palace Tuilteries, which no longer remains. It is just across a traffic circle from the Louvre, and marks the edge of the Jardin des Tuileries (Tuileries Gardens)

Arc de Triomphe du Carrousel

So ornate!

The backside--garden side

Tuileries Gardens

So many statues in this garden!

Tuileries Gardens

The ferris wheel marks the end of the gardens, and separates the Gardens from the Champs Élysées

Lots of nudity in Paris! lol!

Looking back towards the Louvre. The light was perfect at this time!

Your tour of Paris
Thank you for your tour and wonderful narrative of the places you went. I could almost smell the air and hear all the sounds. So happy you and J had a trip of the lifetime. Hope there are many more to come

c'est merveilleux!
One of the main reasons I've always wanted to go to Paris is to put a lock on that bridge! :-) So glad you stumbled upon it. The Eiffel Tower would be the second pick! Ha ha. The architecture is amazing and that Cathedral is absolutely breathtaking! I sure hope to make it to Paris one day. So glad you were able to go, plus have some family and friends to get in touch with as well. Thanks for the tour and for sharing your beautiful pictures. :)
