(Visit My Gallery for a complete collections of photos)
Day one:Visiting the the triangle Montmartre (where we stayed), Louvre (without visiting Mona Lisa) and Palace Garnier (the old Operahouse).
Day two:Hop on Hop off tour bringing us to most of the official "must see" areas in this huge city. To cover all, a combination of bussing and walking is recommended.
Avenue Champs-Elysees towards Place de la Concorde:
Between the Triumphal Arch and Louvre, at the large roundabout Franklin D. Roosevelt, where the autumn flowers are beautiful even in the middle of November
Of course you have to visit the Eiffel Tower although the Paris weather that day was foggy and the humidity high.
Next Hop Off was Notre Dame, the cathedral of Paris
Before ending up at Museum dÓrsay where the main attraction now is Picasso´s versions of Manet´s "Le Dejeuner sur l´herbe". Photo forbidden in that section, but without flash many of the other artworks in the museum can be seen at My Gallery. Here I include one of Monet´s painting, and if you know the "Skagen Painters" you will see that artists are exchanging ideas and learning from each others.
Paris by night is only covered by this photo from Boulevard Hausmann where you may "shop till you drop"
Day three:In addition to the area around the old Opera, Champs-Elysses is the main shopping street, but Rue de Rivoli east from Louvre and (if you really want to spend money) the most fashionable streets in the world thanks to the presence of virtually every major global fashion house, Rue Faubourg Saint-Honore just must be visited.
Day four:Sunday is market day in Paris as most all over the world. The flower and bird market at Ile de la Cite was interesting, but on the way to the Seine a short stop at the Centre Pompidou can give you a good modern art laughter.
A visit to Paris without crossing the bridges over the Seine and walking along the river banks must be waste of time. The River and the bridges will be more covered tomorrow and december first, but here you have a view from Pont Saint Michel.

Ohoi så stor den byen virker, og så flott. Mange fine bilder du frister med her ja Arne.., overhode ikke regn og sludd heller .-)
Takk for tipset Arne. Har ikke du tipset hadde det gått meg hus forbi. Skal lese hvert et ord der nå, men det kunne vært interessant å måle BH blodsukker du...
"Paris er vel en messe verd" - for ikke å si en masse. Dette fristet yl en ny tur!
PS Takk for hyggelige kommentarer - spesielt den om blomsten. Jeg vet du ikke skriver ting du ikke mener, så slikt lever man en stund på.
Heisan:)
For en flott tur dere må ha hatt. Har sittet og tittet på alle bildene deres fra turen. Og du verden så mye dere har sett og så interissant å se på bildene. Følte nesten at jeg var der. Så mye av det dere har sett som jeg ville ha sett selv. Paris må være en hærlig by! Fantastisk så mange bilder dere rakk å ta. Jeg er imponert over denne billedserien!
Takk for at jeg fikk være med en tur til Paris. Mange flotte bilder! Har vært i Paris kun en gang, men det frister til gjentagelse. Sist var jeg der i juli, neste gang må bli vår eller høst.
