The Eiffel Tower in the Distance.
We drove into Paris to drop off the rental car. We didn't know how quite how close we would get to the city.
|
The Looming L'Arc de Triomphe
Uh-oh, we don't want to be this close, that roundabout is scary!
|
The Grand Arch
Phew, the GPS steered us away from the L'Arc de Triomphe.

Eric and our GPS enabled Prius.
We loved driving around in this car. Although the push button start was a little weird, the GPS saved me from having to navigate using a map.

The Grand Arch at La Defense
After dropping off the rental we walked through La Defense to the subway.
|
Saint Chappelle Stained Glass
The first place we visited in Paris. I think this is one of the most beautiful church interiors of the whole trip. Amazing.
|
|
Notre Dame
So famous and we saw it up close and personal!
|
In Front of Notre Dame
Another one of our "at arms' length" self-portraits.
|
Notre Dame's Rose Window
Simply amazing!
|
|
Paris' Point Zero
The center of Paris is right in front of Notre Dame. Every place has a distance calculated from this point.
|
Deportation Memorial on the Ile de la Cite.
This is a memorial for the people who were deported from Paris during WWII. It is a very thought provoking art installation on the end of the island.
|
Eiffel Tower
Quite immense!
