Arch of Triumph/Arc de Triomphe | Look at the little people on the top! |
This place was definitely not on my list of "Cities to travel to"...But I met a very lovely young woman from Paris who was vacationing in Page America, we became pen-pals & friends and she invited me to see her city and WOW!!!!! I'm glad I did, what a city.
A number of the main streets run either parrallel or perpendicular to the Seine: however, the pattern is quite irregular. Boulevards, many boulevards are broad, shady, and extremely picturesque. A number of streets meet at odd angles or in open squares. Some intersections resemble the hub of a wheel, with the streets as spokes,. The most famous of these intersections is the Place Charles de Gaulle, location of the Arc de Tripmphe. Short streets run in a haphazard fashion and many times are quite narrow. |
| Look at all the little people. |
|  | Looking out to the Arch on the Eiffel Tower When I got to the point of no return on this structure I went all the way up and state my claim as the very first Navajo on the Eiffel Tower. As you can see in this picture the Arc de Triomphe, roads branches out into 12 street in all direction. A few name but to name a few.
*Ave. Foch
*Ave. de la Grande Armee'
*Place *Ave. Wagram
*Blvd. Haussman
*Avenue des Champs Elyse'es
*Ave. Marceau |
| | Still on the Effel Tower Still on the Eiffel Tower looking on the Western part of the city, Chaillot Palace...a sight to behold. A striking 20th century structure with a pleasant garden that fronts on the seine. It serves as a cultural center housing a large theater and several museums.
I'M STILL HAVE MORE PICTURES TO PUT IN TO THIS PAGE....PICTURES OF MY FRIEND BEATRICE SAGE. |

| Pros: | "Good food, taste wine, beautiful women." | | Cons: | "I didn't see to many good looking men." | | In A Nutshell: | "Maybe the women are out and the good looking men stay in." |

Ah, you are returning! Ok, Madame, I did promise I'd show you where all the "good looking men" hide out! Don't *blink* you'll miss 'em! ;-) You'll be fluent by the time you return and say "Mon seul regret est d'en avoir a peine vu la couleur." Bon Voyage! |
