Paris 5

Talk about being armed to the teeth. The police in Paris don't carry nice little 44's or little guns, instead they carry AK 47's!!!
I went and saw the show at the Moulin Rouge. It is the new show and is called "Feerie" which roughly translates as "wonderland" or so they tell me.

This is me standing on the Pont Neuf bridge on the River Seine.

This is of course Notre Dame catherdral and inside it was just glorious. I wasn't allowed to climb the stairs because they were closed for maintenance. I personally think they just wanted to keep all the French School kids out of there because I travelled during their school holidays. What on earth was I thinking?

My hotel is across the road from the church you see in the middle of the below photo. To my right is the Seine River and that building jutting into the photo on the left is the Louvre. Pretty spectacularly located huh? I was in the 1st Arrondissment. For those of you who don't know, Paris is divided into 12 Arrondissments and they radiate out from this one. It was just great!
This is the dome of the Eglise Du Dome. this building is located at the south end of the Palace de Invalides and can be seen from practically everywhere in Paris at night because they light up the dome which is guilded in gold.
