A walk in Paris

[Butterfly]

I wanted to try my new iPhone 3G camera so I had a small walk in Paris and took a number of pics. Hopefully the pics will be good as the camera seemed a bit unreliable.

First, in my street, I can see this, it is the "Sacre Coeur" where they keep Napoleon bullocks in a golden safe (no joke)

see the students having a romantic picnic as the evening comes,

[Butterfly]

it's 10pm, the night is falling and testing the new cam, guess what is the tall structure at the end

guess what is the tall structure at the end

A ladyboy lying on his/her back with a raging erection?

[Butterfly]

next, the "Tuileries" and the "Louvre"

[Butterfly]

this is the "Grand Roue de Paris", but it's actually not the real one, the real one is somewhere in Singapore or Shanghai

[Butterfly]

another angle to the "Louvre", quite empty, little tourists, usually this is a crowded area

[Butterfly]

then the view on the fountain as the evening comes, not sure which pic is better

notice the 2 large buildings far in the background, quite famous, guest what they are ?



and without the chairs

I went to Paris once.

Asides from the cool architecture and stuff it was really, really, really shit. The Parisian's were rude, ignorant, arrogant, obnoxious cnuts.

I left early.

Aaaaaahhhhh....wonderful wonderful Paris....

A tad harsh Moonraker.

The Parisian's were rude, ignorant, arrogant, obnoxious cnuts.

I love Paris, had some great times up on the top of the hill, by urm, can't remember, but there's a big church and it's very nice. Great restaurants, good place to have a beer; try to speak a word or two of French and the locals will quickly answer in English, and be nice (I've heard that they give Americans stick, big time...)

Paris is great, and only a few hours from London. Makes, you really appreciate home when you get back to Waterloo...

[Bobcock]

Post One is not Sacre Coeur......

Sacre Coeur is the church on the hill mentioned, it's white.....

I forget what it is that holds Napoleons bits....Les Invalides?

Funny, I've never found Parisiens rude at all, certainly no more than Londoners....

[Smug Farang Bore]

Why are there so many trees in Paris?

To keep the sun off the Germans heads as they marched in.

[The Muffinman]

Aaaaaahhhhh....wonderful wonderful Paris....

You're absolutely right, a simply stunning city.

The Notre Dame, Sacre Coeur, Champs Elysees, Montmartre, L'Arc de Triomphe, Eiffel Tower...I could go on and on.

Without a doubt the most beautiful city I've ever been to. (Closely followed by Istambul)

[Loy Toy]

I love Paris and never had a problem with the locals.

Hope to get back there one day soon.

damn, I think you are right !!!

it is the "Invalides", and for some reasons thought it was the "sacre coeur", even though I live right next to it

Most tourists probably know more about those monuments than I do, even though I lived there most of my life

more to come, with some Eiffel tower shots

[Bobcock]

I thought you were a Walloon? (sp?}

[Jet Gorgon]

Seen this already many times. Last I went, Sacre Coeur was on a hill with a bunch of bldgs around it. C'mon, show us pics of the immigrant gangs torching cars and some Metro photos with scratch & sniff decals.

[Perota]

^ What the point ?

We know that when it comes to senseless gang related violence, America is far superior to us.

The best way to discover Paris is driving through the empty boulevards at 5 am in August, after a night of partying.

Then you find a nice place, my favorite spot used to be on the terrace near the Palais de Chaillot, over looking the Eiffel Tower and Champ de Mars. You open your last bottle of Champagne and enjoy the romantic moment with your girlfriend.

Then you sit at the terrace of a cafe, have a coffee and a croissant and watch the people going to work.

Decadent life Parisian style ....

[Jet Gorgon]

^ Nah, they don't work in August, do they?

[Butterfly]

since we were talking about the "Invalides", here are more pics of that monument on the other side

[Butterfly]

time to take a break at a nearby cafe,



and having a few Leffe,

[Norton]

Great pics BF. Paris one of my favorite cities. No problems with the locals.

A little musical accompaniment.
