said goodbye to blois…took a train to paris

as it was tuesday the Louvre was closed but that did not stop the tourists

makes me wonder how bad it would be during the other days

lot of people wanting stuff or selling stuff

tying hard to take a frame that has not been taken before

dont think i could ever get myself to do that…jump off a plane i can

this is how it looks underneath

pretty cool

left the louvre and reached Jardin des Tuileries…where i saw a guided tour on segways….nice

and people in suits…keep in mind it was 35 degrees that day

a view of the garden

leaving Jardin des Tuileries…heading to Champs-Élysées

took a frame with the 21 and…

switched to the 50

going back to some old school frames

like these

did you know that you cannot…

walk the Champs-Élysées bare chested…

the famous Arc de Triomphe

very crowded like most of touristy paris

the eternal flame

time to head to the…

…Eiffel Tower…no…thats a dustbin

i took this frame

guillaume took this one while i was holding the camera…it turned out surprisingly well

getting out…into the blistering heat…more men in suits…cazy

this picture pretty much describes what i feel about the Eiffel Tower…its nice as a feat of engineering…but is spoilt by all the hagglers trying to sell shit

eating an icecream in the shade of a tree while people make their way to the Eiffel Tower

some frames

below the tower

a final frame of the thingy

as we had some time left…we decided to check…Notre dame cathedral

only to find this gynormous queue of people waiting to get inside…

and thats it…took a final metro…then a ICE to frankfurt…

as of this trip…Blois was much much better than Paris…hopefully i will be back in Paris to spend some more time…and see all the non touristy stuff.
