An overview of the key places

by BruceDunning - last update: Jun 15, 2009

Eiffel View

Overview-look over the shoulder for city picture
This is a setting showing the expansive view of the city form the second tier of the Eiffel Tower. You can see for miles, and it helps to get a benchmark about where things are located form the tower location and distances to find them. They look closer form the tower
Distant view of Notre DAme

This island is where the city started

One of the most revered cathedrals in the world, it has had its ups and downs over the 700 years it has been utilized. Starting as a church, during the dark years, it became a desecrated building, getting no respect. it revived again to become the famed one it is today.
Night picture of Eiffel

Nighttime is colorful with kights all around

Night views show off this city equally as much, or more than looking at it in daytime. Everything is lit up for your viewing pleasure. Boat rides, and buses promote this heavily so you get a chance to see it in regalia. The city really lights up the wonderful monuments in the evening.

Pros:"Well maintained buildings and many museums and sites"
Cons:"Traffic is a situation where I would not drive in the city"
In A Nutshell:"The sites are elegant and most known in Europe."

 Excellent Paris travel page with stunning images. Certainly bring back fond memories of our trips to the city of Paris on several occasions. Siena River and the night view of Eiffel Tower certainly look amazing from your images. ~ho & pang

 Glad you had a good time in Paris and even went on an evening bicycle tour. The traffic situation has gotten a lot better in recent years because they have flooded the city with 20,000 bicycles that are nearly free for anyone who wants to use them.
