Paris

My first visit to Paris, but Louise used to live there, so I have a pretty good guide. It was warm and Paris was really lovely.

The Arc de Triomphe
Arc detail (names of Napoleon's generals)
Arc detail 2 (more generals!)
Along the Axe Historique to la Défense
Me, the Champs Elysée and the eternal flame
The Champs Elsyée from the top of the Arc de Triomphe
The Eiffel Tower, um, towering
Another view of la Défense, from the top of the Arc de Triomphe
Golden spirals in the staircase
Napoleon wasn't as short as everyone makes out you know. Of course, people were taller back then

The Champs Elysée Luis Vitton store refurbishing
Back down the Champs Elsyée to the Arc, Paris has the best symmetry
Louise at our first romantic dinner for two in Paris
Me at the same, any culture that serves plates of Parma ham gets my vote, and my euros
A random church
View from the Ile St-Louis across the Seine to the mainland
View of the Ile de la Cité from the Ile St-Louis
The north bank of the Seine from the Ile St-Louis
