Since our friends were flying out of Paris, we headed back to city of lights to explore.
This time we stayed on the other side of the river in the 10th arrondisement, which was right around the corner from la Basilique du Sacré Coeur. Pictured in the background here.
This is a great view point to take in the sprawl of the city. Anyone seen the movie, Amélie? This is where she leaves one of the clues and the guy looks through the telescope to find it. (sorry haven't seen the movie in awhile... going from my memory here.)
Le Moulin Rouge
ahhhh. Get that girl a coffee stat. We still have to get through the Louvre.
Wasn't this in some famous book or movie? ;)
The famous and beautiful La Vénus de Milo.
Which one is Derrick?
The famous and beautiful La Vénus de Milo.
The happy couple.
A peak out of the second story of the Louvre.
How cool would this be?? Art class at the Louvre!!! Seriously!!!
We both really like this painting.
Found this one interesting with the simpke colors gave the characters almost a marble look.
Egyptian jewelry. Thought that the snake bracelet and rings were cool designs.
The royal crowns of Louis XV, I believe. The room in which they are housed is immaculate!
The crowning of Napoléon. Another copy is featured at Versailles
"Liberty leading the people" or the cover art for the cd Viva La Vida Or Death And All His Friends. "I used to rule the world..."
A painting that encompasses the entire Passion of Christ.
Very detailed theater painting that I really liked.
I liked this one even more by the same artist as above can't remember the name. Very detailed. The scene in the middle lower section shows an artist painting scenes of ancient Rome and on the walls are numerous paintings already completed. Paintings within a painting, brilliant.
This looked real and 3D.
"But Mona Lisa musta had the highway blues, You can tell by the way she smiles" Can anyone name the artist and song? Comment if you know.
After a long day, Katie was ready for a nap.
