I spent five months in Paris as an exchange student in the spring of 1996 and will always remember it as my first taste of "world-travel". I learned much about French language and culture while I was there, and I absolutely fell in love with the city. Now if we could just get the tourists there to stop wearing those silly berets...

| Probably the world's most famous cathedral -- Notre-Dame-de-Paris My first day out in Paris was on the Champs-Elysees where we stopped for pictures in front of the Arc de Triomphe. A more recent night and day view of the famous Eiffel Tower. It has been illuminated at night ever since the celebration of the millenium. Here's an overview of the city taken from the tower of Notre Dame Cathedral. I really prefer European skylines to North American ones! I really like the way this photo from behind the clock at the Musee d'Orsay turned out. A view of the Seine looking at the Ile de La Cite, center of Paris and cradle of the start of the city. |
