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 D'Orsay Museum was a spur of the moment
              choice.  |
