A la prochain, Paris!



So tonight, the evening before our departure, we finally did it – we finally got to the Grande Roue, the gigantic ferris wheel in the Place de la Concorde.  




Unlike the last time we happened by on New Year’s Day when there were mobs of people snaking around in lines, we walked right up to the ticket booth, and waited perhaps 5 minutes to clamber into our car.  I have barely enough time to get out the camera.  

And it was grand!

The Eiffel Tower


 The L'Arc de Triomphe at the far end of the Champs Elysee





 The Petit Palais in the foreground, the Grand Palais beyond

 The Louvre


 The Musee d'Orsay

  and our home turf, Sacre Coeur. 


And back to earth… a lovely end to a lovely sejour in Paris.
