The Scenery

Out of 700 pictures these seem to be the most interesting. Be happy you didn't get stuck looking at a slide projector screen watching each picture.

 

Of course there are pictures of Notre Dame and the Eiffel Tower all over but it couldn't be resisted here. We took a boat ride on the Seine which is a nice touristy thing to do. Plus, you can use some of the rides as you would use a taxi.

There are many, many museums in Paris. Rodin was particularly nice because the evlolution of the work of one artist can be compared, there is a nice park, it can be done within a reasonable time, and it was pleasant walking there.

Set on a hill 130 meters high, the area of Montmartre looks grandly out over all of Paris. The name "Montmartre" comes from "Mont des Martyrs" (the bishop St. Denis, the priest Rustique, and the archdeacon Eleuthère were all decapitated there around the year 250). The bisilica of Sacre-Coeur is located there. It is, as you can see, a good walk from our hotel. I think it would be very, very difficult to use one of the rental bikes which appear in many larger cities including Paris.
