  • In the photo I look calm, however, if you have ever tried standing directly in the middle of the Champs Elysees and had your photo taken with mad Parisians drving everywhere, you'll know there is actually plenty of turmoil going on inside me!
    I love walking up and down the Champs Elysees there is so much to see. One of my favourite Parisian activities.

  • A personal favourite of mine. So many museums are just walls and halls of art. The layout, the architecture, the idea of renovating a train station into a museum, make this a great museum. So many famous and impressive works of art here as well. Don't miss this one!

    La Seine and Its Bridges: Paris Bridges- another great sight

  • Paris La Seine and Its Bridges
  • Pont Alexandre III-Paris
  • by Groverdean
  • Send Photo to a Friend
  • Some people would probably think that most bridges are boring. Well a walk along the Seine will change that. Each bridge has it's own story, it's own unique architecture and character.
    The photograph is of Pont Alexandre named after Czar Alexander III. His son,Nicholas II opened the bridge in 1900. It was built to celebrate the creation of the Russia-French Alliance.

  • To say there is a bit of art in here is an understatement and a half. The most comprehensive art collection of any museum in the world-no doubt. Whether it is the best is debatable. Nevertheless, it is an amazing museum, that is huge (another understatement).
