Weekend
trip to Paris |
|||
 |
My wife gave me a trip to Paris as a combined Christmas and birthday present. The view from our hotel turned out to be pretty good. :-) | ||
 |
The Pyramid at Louvre, perhaps the world's greatest art museum. | ||
 |
In the reception area. | ||
 |
The Large Sphinx. | ||
 |
Venus de Milo (from circa 100 BC). | ||
 |
There were a lot of sculptures in these large halls. | ||
 |
Nice roof. | ||
 |
The halls were almost never ending. | ||
 |
As this was my birthday, we had to eat some cake! | ||
 |
The Winged Victory of Samothrace (aka Nike), from around 190 BC. | ||
 |
One of Napoleon III's rooms. | ||
 |
And one of his dining rooms. Pretty impressive. | ||
 |
Coronation crown of Louis XV (1722) and other crown jewels. | ||
 |
View towards Arc de Triomphe du Carrousel. | ||
 |
The beautiful Jardin des Tuileries (probably much better in summer, but still beautiful). | ||
 |
Place de la Concorde. | ||
 |
Lene having a rest after all the walking in Louvre. | ||
 |
Le Ministère de la Marine (Ministry
of the Navy) on Place de la Concorde. |
||
 |
The Notre-Dame cathedral. | ||
 |
Le Palais de Justice (The Law Courts), located on the Île de la Cité. | ||
 |
Metro station entrance (from 1900) - Art Nouveau design by Hector Guimard. |
||
 |
View from on top of Galeries Lafayette. | ||
 |
Sacré-Coeur. | ||
