Paris in Pictures

A little late, but chronologically before Morocco (even though I'm posting after - yes, I play with the dates and times. Technology lets you do that.) Just some of my favorites here. Many more on the FB.
Everyone you know who has gone to Paris has a picture here.

Marie Antoinette's hair used to get caught in the chandeliers.

We're in Egypt. It's just down the road from Paris.

Those vegetable people.

I am the height of most trees in Paris. Thank goodness for Napoleon.

The Yiddish bakery was pretty outside and delicious inside!

You can guess my camera didn't take this. Kate's did. Not photoshopped.

Hideous modern art outside Versailles. History - 1, Contemporary  World - 0.

This picture is as common as the Louvre Pyramid one.

This is where we stayed.


Europe encourages a fascination of nuns.

 O merde! Il est Napoleon. 

How did you even get so famous, you tiny painting with black dots for eyes?

More beautiful than the Mona Lisa. And more delicious. And fewer angry tourists.

Notre Dame awarded Best Stained Glass.

Just your morning Pan Au Chocolat on the way to the Louvre.

And your average Yiddish deli feast after. Note: This is halfway through the sandwich.

Feeding birds, kicking pigeons. Tuppence, tuppence, tuppence a bag.

This is what we did. 

An artsy statement about the younger and older generations of France, beneath the Arc de Triomphe.
Paris yearns for the past. I photograph them doing that.

You cannot take pictures in Musee D'Orsay.

Ari, the Palais Royal, a cool bridge the Russians(?) gave to France, and the River Seine.
Oh, Paris.
