So small!
Mmm diagonal elevators
The tower spans 3 seperate decks
It's the Eiffel tower alirte!
construction history
every inch of wall surface's decorated
Inside the lower chapel
Detailed wall murals
left of the 1st level deck
Every glass panel tells a unique story
various medieval architecture on display
The Sainte Chapelle
View of the 1st level observation
The Musee national de la Marine and the Musee de l'Homme
That's the Champs de Mars, all frosty
The chapel spots a typical gothic architectural style
First stop
Horse, tower, bird!
it's high, but ain't high enough!
It's more challenging
It's getting bigger!
The place's a former royal palace
awesome!
Many of the mini parks towards the tower
Overlooking the River Seine
The vast halls are used for exhibtion showcases
The views are great up here
Onward tower!
note the french words by the walls
Random obligatory photo shot!
That's all folks for Notre Dame for now!
Look steampunk blaster cannons! :3
Gardens along the walk
Picture-perfect
In the meantime
Queues for the elevators
old and modern
with funky looking glass pyramids
which are intuitive to follow on the musem map
Not to mention beating all the tourist queues.
Group photo!
The ceiling suspended chandeliers
Look up!
Love the spacious galleries
which brings us across...
Just across the Palais Royal
not to mention art

The Palais de Justice keeps most of us entertained
with lots of nudity to boot
