Monet, money

Monet's water lilies 

Outsmart pick-pockets by keeping your purse in your tree


How we really spent our time



whee


can't wait to do it all over again

What's that in the church, ahead?

Poor St. Denis.



Often imitated, never equalled.

Everyone's looking for something---cameras, tops of heads, etc.



Searching the marche aux puces for fleas.













The Aristocats

Carnavalet Museum
Always loved aristocats.


The real black cat cafe sign.








                                            



Cats in the Louvre. They have good taste there.

At the Eiffel Tower.

Oh, yeah.

I just like the way the line reaches all the way to the Society D'Exploitation de la Tour Eiffel.


Allons enfants de la Partie

Nothing says French patriotism better than American dance tunes from the 80s.

Experience much improved by "It's Raining Men".


Samedi My Prince Will Come

Away, but no manger



The cemetery at Montparnasse: paved lots with grass on the burial plots,


or whatever.

And speaking of whatever...

...here's a restaurant with a singer and a lot of atmosphere,  
but no food.




Cultures Keep Best When Chilled

At the Louvre for the second time: antiquities of the Near East.
Pictured: Gumby and the Temple of Doom.

The poisson-chevre. Pretty sure I saw this on a menu.

We look for art.                          We look at art.   

Enough with the art!

Dave in green, Kit in red. The coldest winter I ever spent was a summer in Paris.

Don't forget to bring an adapter!


Round, round

Montmartre is north of Paris. I can see a windmill at the end of this street!
Maybe it's Holland!

Vaux le Vicomte. The owner ekes out a living by renting out the foyer to photographers. Here they're shooting a commercial for giant paper flowers and floating handbags.

What kind of nobility has a squirrel for an emblem? My kind, that's who.

Cool moves, I has them.
