Just a couple of the famous gargoyles of Notre-Dame

L'Orangerie in the Tuileries Garden (a taste of Versailles and the Sun King Louis the XIV

My daughter's favourite moment with the Pigeon Whisperer of the Tuileries Garden

The Modern Louvre entrance

D'Orsay Museum


Pont Alexandre III

Flame of the Statue of Liberty and Princess Diana's Memorial (her car crash in the underpass  was under this bridge) on the right side of the Seine River

Fledgling Horse Chestnut Trees and the Eiffel Tour by Princess Diana's memorial (resembling the trees in Dr Seuss' books)

My favourite tree on earth (admittedly there are few other close in the running)

Trocadero

La Tour Eiffel!

2 story carousel near the Eiffel Tour

As my husband says, plagiarizing Rick Steves, "A Riveting View"

Classic photo!
