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.
