Monday August 6 : Week in Paris
When in France for the first time, even if Provence has a lot to show, not getting a taste of Paris is a sin. So to avoid Hell, that is where we are bound to go.
Traveling in style is the only way to go.

Needless to say where this picture is taken.
Pont Alexandre III

En route for the quartier du Marais.
In this part of Paris, LGBT are quite present. Look carefully at the windows and balconies.
This shop sells beautiful leather products, but the conversation piece is a Velosolex. The French version of the Harley Davidson.

Nope, this building is not under construction. This is the way it is supposed to be, an Art Exhibition Center, le Centre Georges Pompidou.
No comments.

Due to low ceiling, the Eiffel tower got beheaded. So we skipped the climbing. On the other hand, it is a good idea, lines are deterrent.

To have a bird’s view above Paris, la Tour Montparnasse is a nice alternate solution. Behind Susan, the Eiffel Tower, and way further, Manhattan on the river Seine, le quartier de la Défense, Paris business center.
La quartier de la Butte aux Cailles.
En route for China Town.
Cosmopolitan, here we eat.
