On and Off the Road in Paris

by Roadquill - last update: Oct 6, 2005

Jardins Tuilleries in September - Fantastic

The Jardins Tuilleries
A picture perfect day in September. All of Paris seemed to shimmer in September, but the colors in the Jardins Tuilleries were simply wonderful.

And many thanks to VT'rs Beatchick, Guyon, CALSF, Jeanette, Beasoleil, BeninParis, and many others for their insight and assistance. This last trip was the best..
Eiffel at Night

The Eiffel Tower in full regal glory

If I am going to drag my ass out of a nice warm restaurant to get a picture of this symbol of French virilty at midnight, then this is going to be my second picture of my Paris page. (It was my first, but the my recent shot of the Tuileries was too damn good.) During the day it is imposing and cool, but at night when the lights start it passes the pretty cool description.

I have set up a a travelogue to incorporate my one and a half day Paris tour de force or farce as the case may be.

Cool Stuff While Just Walking Around the City

While walking from the metro to Invalides I looked to my left and there was this wonderful gothic church. so off I went to check it out. Right across the street was the Square Samuel Rousseau. A small grass area, play equipment for the kids and statues of a mother readiing with her daughter and one of Cesar Frank.

Pros:"Paris is the gourmet meal of world cities"
Cons:"Occasionally one course is a ittle salty"
In A Nutshell:"I love the smell of waffles in the morning."

 I need to do the exact route from CDG to Les Chatelet with my 74 year old mother with knee problems. Could you tell me how many flights of stairs there are from buying the ticket to the actual B- line RER train stop at CDG?

 I like the way you write. Found your page most interesting ;-)

 A gem of a page, amusing reading and with an eye for off the beaten path detail. I stayed in the same area (hotel) and thus also ate (excellently) at Le Chien qui Fume. As for Beef Wellington, my suggestion would be Napoleon "Bone Aparte" hotpot.
