Paris Photos ♥

A busy street corner near Le Louvre...

The Eiffel Tower by night ♥

The Eiffel Tower by day ♥

A statue on the pond in the garden of the Chateau Versailles... there was more property behind this palace than any one person should ever accumulate even if you are King Louis XIV and Queen Marie Antoinette!

The Moulin Rouge in Montmartre! Pretty impressive!

Basilique du Sacré-Coeur... My favorite site of the trip! I was in love with the Jesus mosaic.


The Catacombs... In this photo you can clearly make out the femurs and skulls and begin to see just how many bones are stacked... Imagine walking through this for about a mile!

Two skulls in The Catacombs...

The Winged Victory of Samothrace, also called the Nike of Samothrace, is a second century B.C. marble sculpture of the Greek Goddess Nike. This was one of my favorite statues...

This photo is a view from a bridge right around the corner from Le Louvre. It is actually an old prison that Kenny and I did not get a chance to visit. It is the site where Marie Antoinette was sentenced to the guillotine, i.e. beheaded.

This was my favorite... I call it "Little Boy Choking Out the Goose"... Ha ha! But really it is the L'Enfant à l'oie and it is Greek!

And this, is the infinite Louvre Pyramid... It was beautiful! Surprisingly, this photo is completely unedited too! I was quite impressed!
