After leaving the Eiffel Tower we strolled down the Champs Elysees. Really, we walked rather fast because we had a lot to see during our two day stay in Paris.
We passed by the Place de la Concorde, one of the major public squares in Paris.
And we continued down through the Tuileries Garden.
And we saw lots of pretty things on the way. Not a lot of flowers but some amazing sculptures.
There at the end of the Gardens was the Louvre!
You could spend the entire week in the Louvre and we only had a couple of hours so we decided there were two things we had to see. This pretty lady…
and this pretty lady….
and along the way we ran into this lady – Miss Nike!
The Louvre is an amazing and beautiful place and we had a hard time taking all the prettiness in!
The Louvre is as pretty inside as it is outside.
From the Louvre we kept on going and headed towards Notre Dame – coming up next.
If you missed Paris}The Eiffel Tower be sure and check it out!
more wonderful pictures…thank you!
xxoo
Wonderful pictures! I’m re-living Paris through your pictures!
These pictures are beautiful! I love the tinting – it really makes the architecture stand out.
Wondering what editing program you use on your pictures and what effects you use? Thanks for sharing your trip pictures–I may never get there so it’s fun to see it through someone else’s eyes!
Loretta, For basic editing I use Creative Memories program Memory Manager. It is great and easy to use. When I want special effects on the pictures, like a vintage feel I use what is called an Action in Photoshop. Photoshop is very complex and I only know how to do the basics so Actions work great because all you have to do is click a button and it does the work for you. Let me know if you have any other questions.
These pictures transport me right back to the very places you are showing.
I loved the Louvre and especially loved Nike of Samothrace. I tried to ask our Frenchmen museum tour guide about her but he was a drunk rascal and wouldn’t tell. The Mona Lisa was much smaller than I expected. Thanks for sharing all of your great shots!
