Final from Paris

Some might be repeats...


Up close with the foliage along the Seine.


Fountain backdrop for my selfie. 


Inside the Louvre. More palatial ceilings.


In the room with the Mona Lisa, I love how these school children gathered grouped under this painting.


And yes, my final shot of Paris!

 



Paris views

On one of the bridges that crosses the Seine. 


View from the Louvre. 


Embarking from the subway, on the way to the Eiffel Tower. 


Behind me, there it is. 


View from my restaurant steps. 


After satisfying meal with new friend, Virginia, this one is taken by her. Just finishing our twilight/ sunset cruise on the Seine. Perfect!

Back in Paris

Coolest subway station sign. There are only a few left like this.

 I am on the Isle in the middle of the Seine where Notre Dame, Saint Chapelle and other buildings sit.


Police. Makes me hear The Pink Panther theme music. Inspector Clouseau?

 
From the government building you can see the exterior work being done on Saint Chapelle.


Along the Seine enjoying the French architecture.


And the boats along the Seine.


And the booksellers along the Seine.

Versailles a final look at the interiors.

The last interior shots.


Snuggle up by this fireplace. Seems to formal for that. But it would hear the room!


Wonderful library with small statues.


More to behold.


Another lovely room.
