The Louvre
Spring in Paris
The weather certainly wasnt as pleasant as in Rome but Paris was a great treat this weekend! A hassle free journey with the Eurostar and a sophisticated hotel in the Bastille area. Deborah arrived a little bit later than expected but we enjoyed a full Saturday & Sunday in the French capitol. Walked to Notre Dame, Louvre and the park near it towards Champs Elysees and the Arc de Triomphe and onwards to Trocadero from where you have a magnificent view directly at La Tour d'Eiffel. (had a wine break there)
Me @ Trocadero
The day hadnt ended and we continued till we finished a full circle of the heart of the city.
Champs Elysees & Arc De Triomphe in the evening Next day we had a nice breakfast/brunch (crepes +Croque madame!) and walked some more till we hit the Louvre and I had to see the Mona Lisa. It is for such a small painting amazing how busy the crowds get... but it is obviously a world famous work of art.... As there were many more...that we were allowed to photograph
VENUS OF MILO
The Louvre is a magnificent combination of historical buildings with the modern glass piramides added for light and art reasons ( I presume ) Underneath the museum there is a beautiful shopping center as well. Sunday it rained lightly so we had a bottle of wine at a heated terrace and caught up on life and before the sun set (behind the rainclouds) we took the Metro to Sacre Coeur & Montmartre... Beautiful!!!!!
I add some photos so you can see what a lovely trip I had with Deborah!
Bisous,
