More from Paris...

This is a photo of the Louvre. All around it are carvings of knights (if you click on the image you can get a larger view) and as I said, a story behind each one. This place is massive!



This is another photo of the Louvre. Notice those ugly pyramids, well, Pat and I hated them anyway. Too modern. Cool though. This is the best photo I have portraying the size of this place but there is still more to the left and to the right.


The photo below shows a picture of a 'house' built for love. A man had this home built for a woman he was madly in love with. He wooed her in any way that he could to win her love, this being the final act. Upon completetion of this, the woman left him for another man. At the time we were there, it was then the home of a politician. As told to us by our 'guides'.



The archways of Notre Dame that I so love. It still amazes me all the detail that surrounds this Cathedral.
