Some may think of Paris as a pretty blond girl.
Others may connect the name to dreams about bohemian life and springtime.
The French Capital is known for all the Icons like
La Gioconda and the
Eiffel Tower among many others.
Our trip to
Paris starts at the western end of
Champs-Elysees with the spectacular
Arch of Triumph

At the eastern end of the avenue the wonderful
Louvre is a must and first "have to" during a stay in this city.

The entrance through the Pyramid (ref
Da Vinci Code ) opens a world of beauty that you may need almost a lifetime to discover, but I recommend you to look up and see all the fantastic ceilings above the paintings and sculptures.
Delacroix´s "
Liberty Leading the People" from 1930 makes me think of the musical Les Miserables and
Do you hear the People sing 
The Greek sculpture
Venus de Milo and the Borghese
Hermaphrodite. are two of the most stunning artworks to be seen from all angles.


Leaving Louvre you take a jump to the
Modern art museum with artworks like
Wassily Kandinsky´s Red, blue and yellow
But Paris without
Mode and Fashion would be nothing for urban people. A stroll (with shopping?) at
Rue du Faubourg St Honore is mandatory.

From there to the bridges (remember Sept 1st and RuneE) you have to pass the statue of
Jean dÁrc
The Bridges over the river
Seine and the river banks have been used in many paintings, books and movies from and about Paris. Here you se the editor at the oldest bridge
Point Neuf (the new bridge from early 1600) with the Eiffel Tower far west.

The next photo is taken from
Pont St Michel towards
Pont Notre-Dame.
Notre Dame is a Gothic Cathedral on the eastern half of the Île de la Cité and has its main entrance to the west. It is the
Cathedral of Paris and the seat of the Archbishop of that city.

At the
Montmartre butte the second best known but most beautiful church can be found.
Basilica Sacre-Cæur
The painting at the roof above the altar is absolutely different from the ones at the entrance of Moulin Rouge not far away.

Of course you have heard about the musical
Moulin Rouge, but to se the legendary Parisian Cabaret with costumes of feathers, shine stones and sequins you have to go here.

This ends this
Saturday urban life at Paris with a glass of white wine and a
salad nicoise at Place Pigalle
