Another great visit......
was to the Arc de Triomphe..we were in awe once again...how the workman manage to create this magnificent monument is beyond us. On reading the history the foundations took 2 years to build, and just look at the design in the arches!!
In the picture you can see a flame, This is The Flame of Remembrance on the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier and is a tribute to the dead, who were never identified in the First World War I and the Second World War.
After this we walked down the Champs-Elysées, looking at all the fantastic cafes and shops ..we were on our way to The Lourve and then to meet Leesa!

So beautiful indeed!
Great Collage and you are right that it merits to be on its own.
When walking down the Champs Elysee a few years ago, we were amused to find huge posters of Positano on the Zara shop there.
Just to say I can read this fine following your twitter message. And yes, they are wonderful pictures. Lucky you to have travelled to such wonderful places.
Hi Anne,
Thank you for stopping by my blog. I've been on a break ! So, I'm playing catch up with your lovely pics of Paris.
Yes, the Arc de Triomphe is an amazing structure; I've been there a few times and feel just so "dwarfed", and the sculptures are incredible.. Non, Incroyable !
See you soon
