VIIIth - You'll never rob what... Pick-Pockets Review

... is protected enough... Even if you may capture the essence of Paris' monuments in your camera, don't even try to rob them !! They are protected !!! Still... well, OK, even if there is a fence surrounding the Obelisque of La Concorde, you may jump over it... Damn, you're right, Paris' splendors are not protected that much !!! ;-D

IIIrd - It's falling apart !! - Paris
IIIrd - It's falling apart !!

Contrary to what folk generally believe, Paris has its dark parts. The most famous "old part"of Paris, Le Marais, is not utterly pleasant and attracting. For instance, the owners of this building should think about a restoration...

The bridge that leads to Bercy (on the left) - Paris

The bridge that leads to Bercy (on the left)

XIIth - Bercy

So, you probably wonder why I have added Bercy among the "Warning tips" (or you don't care at all, and you don't ask yourself any question, and it's OK with me too...) ...
Well, it's pretty easy to understand : Bercy, for french people, means the Ministry of Finances... Indeed, the quay of Bercy is the place in Paris where this Ministry is situated. On TV or in any medium, journalists will refer to this place when they mean the ministry that decides what fate has in its tax store for them....

I've just found a former UFO !!! Situated in the western side of the "jardins du Luxembourg", nobody had noticed it until I realized ET had left his vehicle among the foliage od Paris, and not in the US !!

For Lupin, any roof is a bridge towards freedom - Paris

For Lupin, any roof is a bridge towards freedom

IIIrd - Arsene Lupin

You have probably heard of Arsene Lupin, the most famous french thief ???
Invented by writer Maurice Leblanc, the "housebreaker-gentleman", described as a handsome and charismatic man who always succeeded in stealing the most outrageously protected diamonds, belongs to the popular imagery of many frenchmen...
As an example, a really bad movie about him was released a few weeks ago and more than 1 million people have watched it (unbelievable for such a bad movie !!). Arsene Lupin used to love leaving by the roofs after his forfeits.... This picture is dedicated to him...

IVth - I just hope that if you visit this place... - Paris
IVth - I just hope that if you visit this place...

... it is not due to an infringment of the Law !! The Paris Court of Justice (Palais de Justice) is situated on the island of La Cite, in the heart of the city. You may visit some of its most beautiful rooms : among them, the 1st of the Court of Appeal is wonderful (the photograph was taken there). Don't forget to catch a glimpse of the Sainte Chapelle, one of the most brillant churches of Paris, whose entrance is common to the Court of Justice's.
