"My very special Paris page" Paris by JLBG


Paris Travel Guide: 26,453 reviews and 51,424 photos

There are 1046 rated pages on Paris. Some are excellent, such as Dr Jekyll's page andMr Hide's as well as CaptainAmerica's.

Thus, at first, I felt I should not build another page. My above cited friends convinced me to build one, anyway. I have obeyed ! This is my very special Paris page !

I knew which tips to build, but what for the front page and the photos ? I choose these, avenue de l'Observatoire, as it shows, behind the Jardin du Luxembourg and the Luxembourg palace itself and because it honored "Cavelier de la Salle, 1643-1687, découvreur de la Nouvelle France à la Louisianne".

This photo shows the Institut d'Archéologie but if I show it here it is not because it is an interesting place to visit (may be, I don't know) but because I find the building beautiful and travel oriented. Don't you feel you are in Timimoun, in the Sahara ? I should also add that I took this photo from the same place than the two previous ones. I have learned sometimes the rule "unite de temps, unite de lieu" (one time, one place). I have applied it.

    Thanks Jean-Louis for bringing back sweet memories about one of the most beautiful places in the world! A daughter of my friend has just come back from Paris and is full of impressions as well... Nothing surprising! Great job, splendid tips!

    Thanks for the tip on Le Coco de Mer, real Seychelles cooking in Paris - would love to try that next trip! Dined at Chartier last trip and LOVED IT! Went with friends & we all had a blast there.

    J'apprécie la touche d'autodérision de cette page de même que votre audacieuse devise. Il est vrai qu'il n'y a pas de plaisir à p…. sans p….. Bien à vous.
