Absolutely no prizes for guessing the name of
this radio tower - always takes a good photograph, always creates instant
memory recall for anyone who has visited Paris... Watch the many souvenir
sellers move when the police arrive.

View of the Eiffel Tower from the roof-top cafe
of the Printemps department store on Boulevard
|
The proof that it's only a radio tower after all
|
View due South from the Eiffel Tower, as can be
seen, it is well worth taking the lift to the top
|
The view North, looking
down on the Champs-Elysees and Etoile
|
North again, but a
little closer, looking directly down to Trocadero - great fountains (when
they are turned on!) and also some great roller-skating shows at the top
|
View east down the Seine river to the Grand
Palais and beyond
|
Go to Palais Royale and see if you can find these
giant ball-bearings
|
Paris is another
European city that benefits from being ''walk-able'', and in 4 days you
can really get under the skin of the French Capital.
|
Invalides is 10 minutes walk from
the Tour Eiffel and not only houses some superb museums but also the great
tomb of Napoleon and other famous French soldiers.

Courtyard of Invalides
|
The effect of the light is stunning
|
Would these lamps
originally have used oil instead of electricity?
|
A friendly looking cannon - at least when you are
at the right end
