Paris and Beyond
67 FOLLOWERS
Paris reached out and grabbed me when I was 8 years old and it only took me 40 years to actually get there! I love Paris, its people, its architecture and all of France. This is a photo blog about Paris and occasionally other places in the world.

Parc Montsouris
The height of this sturdy limb
provides an adventurous but relatively safe climb

Le Grenier de Notre-Dame
I eat enough vegetables and fruit to be a vegetarian but do eat
meat in moderation. However, I can clear the table eating seafood.

Église de la Madeleine
There is much written about this very photogenic
and beautiful church which sits prominently in the 8ième.
Do you know that there are 52 of these Corinthian columns,
each 20 m high (65.5 feet!). The fact that it was
designed as "a temple to the glory of Napoleon's army" may explain
the enormity of La Madeleine. It is one of my favorites, and the
acoustics are amazing!

Jardin du Palais Royal
Painstakingly maintained,
the gold spires of the garden's
wrought iron fence are stunning.

on the edge of this fountain, but it is a perfect spot for reflection.

Pont de Sully
This is one of the few cast iron bridges
remaining in Paris today. Built (rebuilt, actually) by
Haussmann in 1876, Pont de Sully is actually two bridges
connecting the eastern tip of Ile Saint Louis
with the banks of the 4th and 5th arrondissements.

Balconies ornate with
flowers
I could be quite content with a corner
of this building in the cinquième, close
to the Seine with an exquisite view.
