Beyond the end of the Alexandre III Bridge we could see the dome of the Petit Palais |
|  | The Grand Palais To the left across the Av. Winston Churchill stands the large curved roofed Grand Palais where we have gone to many blockbuster Art Retrospectives. |
| Mansions (Hotel Crillon etc) |
| | The Mansions Looking carefully into the depth of the Place de la Concorde we can see Gabriel's majestic columned mansions : the Hotels Crillon and de la Marine. |
| | Solferino Bridge The next span is the Solferino and beyond it we can see the Pont Royal and the Louvre in the background on the left. |
| | Pont Royal In the background on the right as we near the Pont Royal we see the Dome of the Institute de France |
| | Musee d'Orsay The first stop on our trip is a dock below the Musee d'Orsay. It has taken us only 10-15 minutes for this leg of our trip. We start up again. |
| | The West Terminal Pavillion of the Louvre We reach the west end of the Louvre just after we pass under the Pont Royal. The Arc du Carrousel is enclosed within and is not visible. |
| Pont du Carrousel and Louvre |
| | Guichets du Carrousel This grand passageway now allows traffic to deliver you to the pyramid entrance to the Louvre. The Pont du Carrousel delivers the traffic from the Left Bank. |

Well, even in Belgium you can find horsemeat in every butcher, so why not in Paris? Horsemeat is common in lots of European countries. It's just a cultural difference. By the way: I don't like horsemeat at all :-) | rtkaye Sat May 31, 2008 14:06 UTC

I much appreciated your tips on Le Louvre and I'm pleased to see that others liked these forgotten sections of the museum. |
