paris part i : tourist shots

by the time i post paris part ii, i would have been here +/- 3 weeks with occasional day and weekend trips out of the city. try to contain your excitement, but those trips will be part of another blog entry. c'est bonne! for now, here's my generic version of paris tourist shots:

view of front façade from the seine

late afternoon lounging. best view of notre dame is from behind if you ask me

bridge of locks

façade detail of holy dudes

stained glass interior shot

typical seine scene: tourist boat, bridges and the notre dame

token eiffel tower shot

token bridge lamp post shot with eiffel tower in background

token arc d'triomphe shot

place de la bastille

skip the louvre, and spend the day in musee d'orsay

jardin du luxembourg

musee rodin

rodin's the thinker

my favorite precious church, sacre coeur in montmartre

with lots of tourists enjoying the view
