One wing of the jaw-droppingly extensive Louvre museum (you could spend a week in there and still not see everything), photographed from inside I.M. Pei's glass pyramid.
I went nuts taking pictures of Paris' skyline. Most of these panoramic are from the top of Notre Dame, which, due to the cathedral's central location on l'Île-de-la-Cité, offers the best view of Paris. Here's a picture of Paris' Left Bank; you can see the river Seine, some of its bridges, and the Eiffel Tower in the distance.
And now, the Right Bank! (Note in the far distance Sacre-Coeur, the basilica on top of the Montmartre hill, which is one of my favourite areas of Paris.)
The Musée d'Orsay used to be a train station. When it was built in 1900, painter Edouard Detaille famously joked, "The station is superb and truly looks like a Fine Arts Museum, and since the Fine Arts Museum resembles a station, I suggest [...] we make the change while we still can." Which is precisely what happened, eighty-six years later. This photo is, alas, not of the gorgeous museum building, but of the view through one of the clocks on the upper level. Again, you can see Sacre-Coeur on Montmartre hill.
One of the most famous boulevards in the world, les Champs Élysées!
I love the Parisian metro signs and entrances! This was designed in the 1910s, and is a wonderful example of the Art Nouveau movement.
