Our first stop in Paris, a
sidewalk cafe, one of several we visited during our visit.
If people
were smoking we would find a table inside where smoking is prohibited |
|
Our first stop
was the Louve which was only a short walk from our apartent |
|
When when visiting in the evening
extend hours there were no crowds |
Winged Victory |
|
|
We visited the Louvre TWICE
seeing the expected popular exhibits as well as some not usually
part of the quick tours

The Seine was a short walk
from our apartment making it easy to view the iconic buildings and
