River views......




Troubled times..................

These are the towers where Marie-Antoinette was kept until she was taken to the guillotine.

The towers are covered with a "screen" now as the outside is being cleaned.
 This is now a hospital.
The tall obelisk behind the trees is a marker to show where the guillotine was placed and used during those dark days.

Here's lookin' at you, kid.................

Isn't this fantastic!  What a great advertisement.......for what?.............I don't know.....but I love it!  As the boat goes by the eyes look as though they follow you. 

See..............there she goes "lookin' at you"!  LOL

Sights along the Seine

Our closest view of the Eiffel Tower yet.  Judi, Jan, Barb and I took a trip to the tower later in the week.

Another one of the carousels........evidently an attraction close to any of the major sights.  I'm sure lots of locals go there just to give their children a day out and a ride on the double-decker amusement.

This is a broader view of the cityscape along the Seine.

Love the tops of these rotundas and those little teapot -like knobs on top.  ")
