Back at the hotel
and is the 2nd largest public park in Paris
Lets get a move on!
The Nord is a high speed train station
Deckout out!
The arc spots a Neoclassical version...
Our restaurant of choice
of ancient Roman architecture
Behind the wrought iron grill and gates...
Not to mention a splurger's haven
Our uphill climb ends and...
I spy with my little eye...
aka the Palais du Luxembourg!
The University of Paris
The underground entrance to the top of the arc
are all covered with deco
complete with street performers
Now it's a secular mausoleum containing the remains of distinguished French citizens
So is vehicular traffic
The Observatoire
and the nearby Notre Dame
The Place de la defense further west
Few of the many posh shopping arcades
Back in Cluny for supper!
All board!
The first in Britain!
very interesting indeed
it's one of the most famous monuments in Paris
shop shop shop!
designed by Tomasso Francini
Underground access under the Charles de Gaulle
Inaugurated in 1836
Crazy people not included!
An early example of neoclassicism
That's all for Paris, for now!
The Tomb of the Unknown Soldier beneath the Arc
A sight to behold at least
Xmas Decorations by it's facade
Sunset!
A new day! along Saint Michel!
Lets carry on west!
The Arc honours those who fought and died for France
As if we can't get enough of sculptures in Paris already!
The des Champs Elysees
The Le tombeau de Napoleon past the Esplanade des Invalides on the far left
Look how far we've came from the wheel!
The Grand Palais
It stands in the centre of the Place Charles de Gaulle
Close up of the palace the entrance and roof
and the Napoleonic Wars
