La Grande Roue de Paris
La Grande Roue de Paris
Although this ferris wheel is commonly known as "la Grande Roue de Paris"
it is a relatively new construction which is portable and requires no
special foundation. It is held in place with ballast of 11,000 gallons (40,000 liters) of water.
This roue de Paris was designed and built for the 2000 millennium celebrations.
It has traveled to England, Belgium, Thailand, Italy, and the Netherlands
over the past ten years. It is always a welcome sight on Place de la Concorde and can be seen from the Arc de Triomphe in line with the Louvre.
The original "Grande Roue de Paris" was built for the 1900
Exposition Universelle and was dismantled in 1920.

The avenue has many looks and
is always well-dressed whether at Christmas,
for Quatorze juillet, or anytime in between.

Place de la Concorde
Place de la Concorde
Statues and fountains, an Egyptian obelisk, a view of the Eiffel Tower,
the Grand Palais and the constant circulation of traffic...
Oh, and lest one forget, this largest square in Paris
was the scene of many executions.

Carrousel de l'Hôtel de Ville
The double-decked carrousel
at Hôtel de Ville
is best enjoyed after dark.
This petite fille holds on tightly
as the horses run fast as the wind at night.

Chez Gladines - cuisine Basque à Paris
Chez Gladines
This charming bistrot serves reasonably-priced Basque cuisine.
I first "discovered" Chez Gladines, the original restaurant,
on rue des Cinq Diamants in the 13ème. The food is simple, but delicious.
Be sure to select a dessert while I whisper in your ear....
(crème caramel -or- mi-cuit au chocolat et Piment d'Espelette ).
This lively scene is on Boulevard Saint Germain and
the warm September evening filled all the tables,
inside and on the terrace.

La Tour Eiffel, la Seine, et des Ponts
Paris at Night
The mighty bronze sculptures of Pont Alexandre III
gaze nightly at "the tower" as it lights up the evening sky.
I have stood on this same spot in all kinds of weather,
and I can close my eyes to be transported there in my imagination.
bon weekend

La Tour Eiffel
La Tour Eiffel
I cannot count the number of photos I have taken of the Eiffel Tower,
but it still takes my breath away like I am seeing it for the first time.
I have been to places where the hype exceeded the excitement of actually being there,
but the Eiffel Tower marks the landscape with golden light
as I gasp yet again and hold my breath to take the shot.

Champs Elysées et La Grande Roue
Champs Elysées and the Big Ferris Wheel
La Grande Roue becomes an iconic landmark
between November and February each year.
It sits in Place de la Concorde at the foot of Avenue des Champs Elysées.
