PARIS, FRANCE




Jardin de Tuileries is an Italian-style park marked by the influence of the Medicis family,


& was once the backyard of the royalty. We lunched at a little outdoor sandwich shop here &


found another little shop where we watched them make huge crepes & relished our


pick of strawberry! Yum!




Monument of Queen Marie Antoinette.















The Champs-Elysees & the Arc de Triomphe, which commemorates Napoleon's victories.


I was impressed with how wide this street is compared with the small streets in London & Rome.
