This les Tuileries, part of the museum du Louvre.
the place was gorgeous. This palace was built after the death of Henry the 2nd.
Louis XIV lived there when Versaille was under construction.
When Napoleon came into power he made Tuileries the official residence of the first consul and then the imperial palace. In 1808 Napoleon began constructing the northern gallery which also connected to the Louvre, enclosing a vast place

Place de la Concorde

The Eiffel Tower, built by Gustave Eiffel in 1889. Eiffel had a permit for the tower to stand for 20 years, meaning it would have had to be dismantled in 1909, when its ownership would revert to the City of Paris. The City had planned to tear it down but as the tower proved valuable for communication purposes, it was allowed to remain after the expiry of the permit. The military used it to dispatch Parisian taxis to the front line of the Marne.
(Thx Wikipedia bc the 3 blondies who gave me a tour in Paris did not not the dates and so one....poor them!)

Kids and boats.

Kids are playing with some sailing boats, they have a little wood stick and when the boat reach the border of the bassin they use it and push the boat. I had so much fun looking at the kids...they were running around the bassin to reach the opposite side before the boat... you have to see that once!

little walk in Paris.

Today I had a marvellous walk in the sun of France.
I started the walk by the musée d'Orsay. Its holds mainly French art dating from 1814 to 1914 especially a humagous collection of impressionist masterpieces by popular painters like Monet and Renoir.
This museum before was a railway station, and it was converted in 1986.
After the museum I crossed the main river of Paris la Seine and went to the "Jardin des tuileries" a garden. It is surrounded by the Louvre, the Seine, the Place de la concorde.
I had such a good time there looking at the kids playing with some boats in a little bassin.
From there I went to the Place de la Concorde, one of the major squares in Paris. The Place was designed as a moat-skirted between the Champs-Élysées (longest avenue in Paris with at the end Arc de Triomphe) to the west and the Tuileries Gardens to the east. Filled with statues and fountains, the area was namedh Place Louis XV to honor the then king.
Then I went the the Invalides, its a complex of buildings containing museums and monuments, all relating to France's military history, as well as a hospital and a retirement home forwar veterans, the building's original purpose. It is also the burial site for some of France's war heroes. It was very impressive, its golden dome was shinning in the sun.
Thus I on the way to the Champ de Mars ( where the Eiffel towar stands) I bought my baguette as a real french!

Talking about baguette my day was so long and I am starving.... baguette, cheese and wine are waiting for me!!

Talk to you soon,

Ciao

The Sacré Coeur Basilic on the hill of Montmartre, a little oriental touch in a very heterogeneous city.

Back from my ride

Let's start.
My first discovery in Paris was La butte de Montmartre ( it is a hill in Paris). Montmartre is very well known, especially After the movie Amélie.
On the top of the hill you have the basilic du Sacré Coeur. From there you have a marvellous view of the famous "roof of Paris".
Montmartre preserves its cultural and artistic identity by offering a home to the greatest painting movements of the XIX and XX centuries. Montmatre is an eternal village full of cobblestone streets, little shops, artists.
It was very like being in a fairy tail, the place was so quiet, I stayed on the stairs listenning to a little concert was sooooo Paris : love, quiet, very charming....
