The kitchens
a sight to behold at least
Behind these walls
The des Champs Elysees
The view of freedom
The Le tombeau de Napoleon past the Esplanade des Invalides on the far left
and the Napoleonic Wars
the life on the rock
during the Battle of Alcatraz
it's a 2 layer cell
Many interesting ways inmates try to break out of the cells
Lets carry on west!
It stands in the centre of the Place Charles de Gaulle
No wonder it's called the rock!
Sunset!
As if we can't get enough of sculptures in Paris already!
San Fran island
Xmas Decorations by it's facade
Look how far we've came from the wheel!
remembering those who lost their lives in their line of duty
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!
Underground access under the Charles de Gaulle
The first in Britain!
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
The Place de la defense further west
An early example of neoclassicism
complete with street performers
I spy with my little eye...
Our uphill climb ends and...
The underground entrance to the top of the arc
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
Deckout out!
Back in Cluny for supper!
The arc spots a Neoclassical version...
