Now THIS is shopping!

Sorry this view of the ceiling is out of focus, but the Chanel shop had just caught my eye..

Galeries Lafayette. 14,000 sq. meters spread over three floors, with 260 labels to choose from. What's not to like?

a shop on Rue Rossini; isn't it gorgous?

granted the black is more "age appropriate", and I like it just as well

I wonder if you can purchase the butterflys?

along Blvd. Haussmann

Grand Opera building

heading to the museum

I'm sorry I really don't like the pyramid, never did, never will.

the rain just begins to clear as I head from the Louvre to the Champs-Elysees

This was just PART of the line to get in!

..and there are two! I don't care for either one. So there.

The line for entry went so far back I could not see the end, and so I did not try to find it.... Well! I don't like to stand in line. That's enough of a reason yes?

The visitors going ???

Looking up through the pyramid is not so bad I'll grant you.

I do love this one...

My arty shot.. I don't like taking photographs inside the museum, and I can't believe how many people were doing so! and how often!! Philistines!

This little one was so unhappy, I ask him if I could take his photograph in an attempt to cheer him up. The camera didn't do the trick, but when I spoke to him in Arabic that did it!

a model for jmb's summer home...

the rain left town and the wind moved in with a vengenge

looking from the gardens to toward Avenue de Opera

walking through the gardens to lunch on Champs-Elysees

a couple of landmarks you should recognize up ahead

and the Merry-go-Round

definitely French sculpture!

Ah yes, lovers in Paris in the Spring... someone call Audrey Hepburn.

I want you to know jmb - this is the first picture I have EVER taken of the Eiffel Tower!

Louis-Philippe decided to erect this monument, presented to him in 1831 by the Vice-Roy of Egypt, Mehmet-Ali. The obelisk comes from the temple of Ramses II in Luxor. Place de la Concorde.

lunch stop at Pavillon Elysee Lenotre

delicious and wonderful service

heading toward the river from the Champs-Elysees

having an exposition of Goya at the Gravenur

Pont Alexandre III, considered one of the most ornate bridges in Paris

just some Paris stuff for you

Look at that sky!

view from the river at Pont Alexander III looking back

the boats of Paris...

the shops along the river. It began to rain again, and some of them as you can see were closing up.

I love this place! We used to come here on Saturdays after coffee.

some of the orchids

any holiday you like...

the actual orchids and plants

On Sundays it becomes a bird market

Notre Dame; the rain was really coming down now

I'm thinking this must be their one chance to see the church..

I love Paris in the rain.

Hotel Dieu, across the street. The hospice, founded in the 7th century, was rebuilt in the 19th century after Haussmann cleared the island

the garden behind Nortre Dame and across from Esmeralda

that does look like fun

another view of the garden

I think this is the Palais de Justice

some of the orchids..

and... another church

I love the gates

back to the river

This is the shop of my friend who sold the post cards (among other items)

She is gone. Her granddaughter is running the shop.

I just thought they were so cute.

Now there's a merry-go-round for you!

See! I told you it was crowded.

the Grand Opera

I loved this window display.

You have to know where to find the diamonds no matter what city you are in eh?

At the end of Avenue de Opera and Rue St. Honoree', more shopping

that's Fred's back there. oh goody!

The streets of Paris on a Sunday morning.

any Sunday morning

anywhere in Paris

and the fountains

Do you love it? A Moroccan souvenir shop! on St. Honoree'

Jude in one of her Paris gifts.

shoes, shoes, shoes...

and more shoes!
