Paris 3

I can't remember if I told you or not so I apologise if I am repeating myself. You couldn't take flash photos in a lot of the rooms of the Louvre so I just put my camera away and browsed around this amazing place for 6 hours. I took a couple of photo's at the beginning but gave up. This one is the statue of Diana the Huntress.

This is, of course, the amazing Venus De Milo.

This is a photo I wasn't allowed to take because it was in one of the rooms you couldn't flash but I didn't care and took it anyway. It's of the crown jewels of Louis the 14th. I had to take it because in there is the worlds largest pure diamond and it's called the Regent. I can't really remember now but I think it is about 14 carats. Whilst there are bigger diamonds in the world none are as pure as this one. The diamonds that should be in the crown were nicked during the Revolution and have been replaced with glass because they were never recovered. After I took the photo a rather stern looking french woman yelled at me and wagged her finger saying "no No No Madame". I just looked sheepish and apologised but I had the photo at that stage! YAY! haha

This is a photo of me on the steps of the Sacred Heart Church in Mont Matre.

This is a photo of the last windmill in Paris. They used to be all over the place and the french word for windmill is "Moulin" hence the name Moulin Rouge (red windmill) and the big glary windmill on the front of the theatre.
