The Arc de Triomphe!
Back at the hotel
The station's main entrance
The place's pretty decked out too
the food and service's rather good
Not to mention a splurger's haven
mother of king Louis XIII of France
of ancient Roman architecture
The Nord is a high speed train station
are all covered with deco
The University of Paris
Lets get a move on!
Crazy people not included!
Our uphill climb ends and...
Behind the wrought iron grill and gates...
Now it's a secular mausoleum containing the remains of distinguished French citizens
The arc spots a Neoclassical version...
Back in Cluny for supper!
Our restaurant of choice
and the nearby Notre Dame
I spy with my little eye...
The underground entrance to the top of the arc
So is vehicular traffic
The Place de la defense further west
complete with street performers
Few of the many posh shopping arcades
An early example of neoclassicism
very interesting indeed
shop shop shop!
remembering those who lost their lives in their line of duty
it's a 2 layer cell
it's one of the most famous monuments in Paris
Underground access under the Charles de Gaulle
the life on the rock
Behind these walls
The first in Britain!
A sight to behold at least
A new day! along Saint Michel!
lie the high security areas of the prison
designed by Tomasso Francini
The Tomb of the Unknown Soldier beneath the Arc
That's all for Paris, for now!
The view of freedom
No wonder it's called the rock!
talking about inmate experiences
lock and load!
San Fran island
Inaugurated in 1836
Many interesting ways inmates try to break out of the cells
The Arc honours those who fought and died for France
