PARIS, FRANCE

The Eiffel Tower has become the symbol of the" City of Light!"! I was just not expecting it
to be so huge! I was totally WOWED!! We only went to the second floor, but what a total
AWESOME view!!!


A miniture Statue of Liberty in the forground that the U.S. gave to France.

The tunnel where Princess Diana was in the car accident is not to far from
here & we drove through it several times.



We took a River Seine Cruise but were a bit disappointed & pretty glad to get off the boat since Paris was seized by an early heat wave! To hot! Glad to get up on the Eiffel Tower & a breeze. If you go, do it in May!!











Joan of Arc, nicknamed "The Maid of Orleans" is considered a national heroine of France & a


Catholic saint. A peasant girl born in eastern France who claimed divine guidance, she led the army to several important victories during the Hundred Years War, which paved the way for


the coronation of Charles VII.
