Paris - July 2004 and several other previous visits
I've got to say straight off, I LOVE Paris, and I'm fortunate to have a number of connections to the city. I've worked there for a short period, over in Western Paris's La Defense in 2000. We have great friends who live over in the 11th Arrondissement, and I have some cousins in the city as well. |

I wanted to share a few photos of some of my favourite Parisian views, starting with the Eiffel Tower. | ||

The Sacre Coeur: | ||
This beautiful building is the top of the Basilica of Sacre Coeur ("Sacred Heart") in Montmartre ("Marytr's Mount"), in the North of Paris, high up on a hill. It was built over the period at the end of C19 and early C20. The area is one of the key artistic areas of the city. |
