  • ... is not gold !!!
    The Place Vendome, situated in the 9th district, and in the middle of which is erected an obelisque, rounder than the one of La Concorde, is close to every famous jewelries... And, if your diamonds are fake, the Ministry of Justice is also in the area, so that you don't have to go that far to complain !!!

    Musée Carnavalet: IIIrd - The history of Paris
  • Tip Rating:
  • Definitely, the Museum Carnavalet is a must-see museum for those who would like to know more about the city and history of Paris, the shape it had centuries ago and the main events who happened in this central place of the "Old Europe", that have probably changed the face of the world...

    Park: Jardins du Luxembourg: Vth - A lovely park, some may say...
  • Tip Rating:
  • Paris Park: Jardins du Luxembourg
  • In the background, the dome of the
  • Pantheon
  • by Maillekeukeul
  • Send Photo to a Friend
  • ... but I think I have studied too much close to the "jardins du Luxembourg", that now means "paradise close to hell" rather than one of the most beautiful parks of Paris... Still, even if I can not be objective enough, I might recommend this park for people who want to enjoy the sun or the shade of some refreshing leaves, while wandering around the Vth district of Paris (close to St Michel or St Germain boulevards)...

    Panthéon: Vth - Studying next to the French Stars
  • Tip Rating:
  • Paris Panthéon
  • Enlightenment of Le Pantheon
  • by Maillekeukeul
  • Send Photo to a Friend
  • Though a lot of famous french people are BURIED inside this monument, the students of the Sorbonne, who pass long hours in the building facing the Pantheon, are not DYING of boredom...
    When I took the picture, there were some colourful modern sculptures on the Soufflot street that leads towards the monument itself...

    Park: Jardins du Luxembourg: Vth - The house of the Old Lions
  • Tip Rating:
  • In France, we have two chambers in our Parliament. One of them is called, like in the US, the "Senate". The building where the sessions take place is situated inside the Gardens of Luxembourg. It is said that Senators are Old Lions, and very few people know exactly who is in there, as they are chosen among Electors and by a college of Electors. And these Electors are not elected according to whom they will vote for !!! Independance, age, wit and discretion seem to be the values to become a french Senator...

    La Sorbonne: Vth - The internationally reknown SORBONNE !
  • Tip Rating:
  • It's the place !! Situated along the rue Saint Jacques (in the 5th district of Paris), the famous Sorbonne is a splendid university. Its astronomic tower is emblematic of all the sciences and knowledge that is being taught within its walls.

     Interessant de voir Paris a travers les yeux de qqn qui y habite. Surprise d'apprendre l'existence de l'eglise russe Al Nevski, car la plus grande cathedrale dans ma ville natale porte le meme nom. Fatima , et la main de Fatima est tres repandue au Maroc.
