paris part i : tourist shots

by the time i post paris part ii, i would have been here +/- 3 weeks with occasional day and weekend trips out of the city. try to contain your excitement, but those trips will be part of another blog entry. c'est bonne! for now, here's my generic version of paris tourist shots:
view of front façade from the seine
late afternoon lounging. best view of notre dame is from behind if you ask me
bridge of locks
façade detail of holy dudes
stained glass interior shot
typical seine scene: tourist boat, bridges and the notre dame
token eiffel tower shot
token bridge lamp post shot with eiffel tower in background

token arc d'triomphe shot
place de la bastille
skip the louvre, and spend the day in musee d'orsay
jardin du luxembourg
musee rodin
rodin's the thinker
my favorite precious church, sacre coeur in montmartre
with lots of tourists enjoying the view
