| ARC DE TRIOMPHE Photo by Kay Davies, March, 2011 |
Then, of course, there is always the Eiffel Tower, which has already appeared in this blog a couple of times this month.

| The Louvre Museum has been synonymous with Paris for a long time. The "pyramid" in front of it is a popular but fairly recent addition: the new entrance to the museum, commissioned in 1984. I didn't, but Dick did have the energy to explore the Louvre. He also climbed the steps to the top of the Arc de Triomphe and to the second level of the Eiffel Tower (as far as the public is now allowed to climb). |

In addition to the well-known images seen above, I thought I'd include some shots taken "out and about in Paris" — I'm glad Dick remembered to include the name in the photos of the Academie Nationale de Musique (below) also known as the Paris Opera.

Ah, the REAL thing, not the Las Vegass imitation!

Mmmm. That's one city I would love to spend some time visiting!
You two certainly did see all the icons of Paris... and then some! How wonderful. [I bet you're much less pleased with the re-election of Harper!]
@ Francisca — I'm not just displeased, I'm devastated. Our country is in for some rough, rough times. Maybe I'll move to Paris (I wish).

Poor Dick must have gotten quite a kink in his neck from looking up and up!
I'm with you on Harper..I think we Canadians have gone mad...a majority????

Beautiful place. You couldn't get to the top of the Eiffel Tower by the steps in the 1970s either, I remember finding the rivets fascinating at that time. Nowadays I'd ignore that and just take the lift:-)
Thanks once again, Kay, for the great memories, the beauty of Paris! Sorry to learn about your elections! Don't think it's just Canadians -- who knows what the idiots in this country will do come election time! Breathtaking post for the P Day! Take care!

Since I will never get to Paris in my lifetime...It's nice that you bring Paris to me.
Great views of Paris. Great choice for P day.
Hi Kay, it's been a while... howdy?
Really only 15 seconds, how can that be... maybe because we have seen aplenty of Monalisas everywhere and seeing the real one might be as fascinating as original... fantastic photos Kay as ever...

Perfect place for the letter this week!
Please come see the Paintings at my page.
Definitely better than what they have in Las Vegas! I'd like to visit the real Paris one day. I would make sure I spend more than 15 seconds in front of the Mona Lisa.
Looks still the same, only the gold seems to have been cleaned ;) !
Paris is so beautiful - Your photos are superb. I know how you feel about the election as I'm feeling the same way about the US midterm. So many uninformed voters and unscrupled pols. Sad.
Such spectacular photos of Paris! Someday .....
Have a wonderful week!
Thanks for your supportive words!
