Bonjour!
a nice French breakfast to start with!
We bought the 2 day museum pass, but since tomorrow was May Day when most of the museums were closed, we decided to leave the Tour D'Eiffel tomorrow and try to see many museums as possible today!
First, we went to the famous Cathedral of Notre Dame...
starting early in the morning!
a line of people waiting!
walking up the stairs...
bonjour!
nice view guys!
oh there's the tower!
closer up!
nice view to the other side!
We then moved on to La Sainte-Chapelle...
lots of beautiful stained glass!
très bien!
And the La Conciergerie...
dark room to be stuffed in...
oh there she is!
We took the subway and arrived at the Louvre just after midday...
The Louvre was huge and it could take days to really enjoy the works of art! I'm not really acquainted to paintings and sculptures anyway, so we just took a quick tour around to see the major displays including the Iranian art...
in the entrance... I saw this in Da Vinci Code!
too many sculptures here!
too many pictures here!
Can't miss the famous ones!
without the face...
without her arms!
oh... she's heavily guarded!
let's see how Lupin the 3rd will snatch this one!
hey! me too!
oh... I want to sleep too... but I think you should hide your...
don't wanna work like them!
time for lunch!
welcome to Egypt...
roar!
roar roar!
uhh... roar!?
mmm...
Iranian art...
Persepolis!?
how did they get this!?
I could understand how the Iranians will feel when they see the Persian masterpieces held in a museum so far away from home...
Our legs and feet were aching after hours of walk in the museum, but we went on to see two more museums...
leaving the Louvre...
The smaller Arc!
stopping for ice cream!
The Musee de l'Orangerie first...
screen of pictures!
beautiful... yes...
moving on... there's the next museum!
he has his own museum!
nice sketches!
And then to Musee d'Orsay!
roar!
time to think where to go next!
oh... I think I've seen this before...
not the real one of course!
oh... he must be...
finished! yes!
The day was over so quickly but my wife had one more ambition!
We went to a regular supermarket to buy things we wouldn't be able to near our residence! I didn't know we could use credit cards, but now I know you can buy anything with the carte de credit!
ordinary supermarket
where you can buy things you can't buy in Iran!
We spent our night with one of my colleagues working in Paris after meeting with his family and I was so sleepy at night... still there was work waiting and I had to finish it off before going to sleep...
a nice meal we had at night...
