My Travel Photos


Recommended Posts

Took these pictures during a trip to Paris and Strassbourg, both in France a few years back.

 

The first one is that of Napoleon and other figures situated on the left pillar (if you're facing it with your back to the Champs d'Elysees) of the l'Arc de Triomphe in Paris.

This one is, of course, the Eiffel Tower. Taken during winter. I was not able to climb to the top during that time 'coz it was cold and icy up there and even the people manning the elevators have refused to allow visitors to the summit. Really breath-taking, especially when you see it for the very first time.

The bell tower was under repair, but I couldn't resist taking this picture of the Notre Dame cathedral in Strassbourg (also in France, but near the border with Germany). This is not the same Notre Dame where Victor Hugo's fictional Quasimodo spent most of his years before he was cast into the fray with Esmeralda. That one's in Paris (I do have a photo of that somewhere...but I still have to find it first)
