  • The Seine near the Notre Dame de Paris
  • The Notre Dame cathedral
  • The Palais du Louvre, which contains the Musée du Louvre, one of the world's longest torture instr... I mean museums.
  • The famous glass pyramid around the entrance of the Palais du Louvre.
  • View from the Jardin des Tuileries towards the Place de la Concorde with its obelisk, the Arc de Triomphe, and, all the way in the back, La Defense.
  • The Obelisk on the Place de la Concorde, complete with instructions of how it was stolen from Egypt
  • Arc de Triomphe
  • View from the top of the Arc de Triomphe towards La Defense, the most modern part of Paris.
  • The stairs inside the Arc de Triomphe
  • The Basilique du Sacré-Cœur
  • I'm not sure what exactly she's representing, but let's say you're lucky you can admire the colors without having to listen to the music. ;-)
  • The stereotype French waiter. If I had known how to use my camera at the time (large aperture!) this could have been my favorite picture of the whole Paris trip.
  • La Défense
  • Under the Grande Arche in La Défense
  • View from the top of the Grande Arche in La Défense. Apart from this view the Grande Arche is clearly one of the biggest tourist traps in town. Only one side of the roof is walkable, the roof is poorly maintained in general and the inside is carelessly organized.
  • La Défense
  • View of the Grand Arche
  • View from La Défense towards the Arc de Triomphe
  • Ivy and my parents under one of the many beautiful trees along the Esplanade de La Défense
  • La Défense
