Photogenic!
aka L'Obelisque!
The Obelisk of Luxor
By the Place de la Concorde
Xmas carnival style!
Lets move on!
The place's packed
The shopping avenue part of...
Food stalls by the Allae Marcel Proust
Close up of the palace the entrance and roof
The Grand Palais
a sight to behold at least
The Le tombeau de Napoleon past the Esplanade des Invalides on the far left
The des Champs Elysees
and the Napoleonic Wars
It stands in the centre of the Place Charles de Gaulle
Lets carry on west!
Sunset!
As if we can't get enough of sculptures in Paris already!
Xmas Decorations by it's facade
Look how far we've came from the wheel!
The Arc honours those who fought and died for France
The Tomb of the Unknown Soldier beneath the Arc
Inaugurated in 1836
That's all for Paris, for now!
designed by Tomasso Francini
shop shop shop!
The first in Britain!
Underground access under the Charles de Gaulle
A sight to behold at least
A new day! along Saint Michel!
Few of the many posh shopping arcades
it's one of the most famous monuments in Paris
very interesting indeed
Crazy people not included!
So is vehicular traffic
An early example of neoclassicism
The Place de la defense further west
complete with street performers
I spy with my little eye...
Our uphill climb ends and...
and the nearby Notre Dame
Now it's a secular mausoleum containing the remains of distinguished French citizens
Not to mention a splurger's haven
of ancient Roman architecture
The underground entrance to the top of the arc
Deckout out!
Back in Cluny for supper!
Behind the wrought iron grill and gates...
The arc spots a Neoclassical version...
