I love you in French.


I Love You Wall


side of a random building in Montmartre...just kind of like it :)


How perfectly framed is this?

gardens of Versailles

Versailles from the gardens


Laura, Cally, and Bess on our boat ride at Versailles





random window in Versailles...again just liked it.


Hall of Mirrors





Religieuse Cafe...possibly one of the greatest foods ever created.


me and Michelle in front of Sacre Coeur


Sacre Coeur


I Love You Wall





It only took me 3 years, but I finally got up here!
me and Laura in front of the Moulin Rouge


I think I'm in love with the work of Gustave Moreau. It's hard to see in pictures, but his paintings are amazing, and they have sooooooooooooo much detail and great color.


The stage of the Opera Garnier. The Opera Garnier has the biggest stage in the world.


ceiling of Opera Garnier


the famous chandelier...not really but it is the current chandelier in the Opera.


Michelle outside the Opera Garnier.


Laura in front of the Opera Garnier.


l'Opera Garnier...I'm in love with this building.


Kristen on our boatride at Chambord.


Nina breakin it down on our boatride at Chambord.


The trophy room of the "man's chateau."


He was just too cute...I kept passing this kid at Chambord, and he just didn't seem to
like wearing his shirt. :)


double helix staircase in Chambord...one person can go up and another can come down, and they will never meet.


me and Nina in front of Chambord


Chambord...the "man's chateau"


me and Michelle at the wine tasting in the Loire Valley


Salut!


wine in storage at the winery


da Vinci's garden





a not so great shot of Clos Luce, da Vinci's chateau in Amboise.


Chenonceau





Chenonceau back in the day.


the Black Room of Louise de Lorraine in Chenonceau


the Great Hall of Catherine de Medici in Chenonceau


Eiffel Tower...duh...

















me and Nina on our Bateaux Mouches ride


so I'm not sure if the flame was actually put here for this reason, but this is the top of the bridge/tunnel where Princess Diana crashed and was killed.


Eiffel Tower from the Seine


my duck friends in the Jardin du Luxembourg


inverted pyramid at the Louvre...hello da Vinci Code fans...


the Mona Lisa/la Jaconde...not really too impressive, but I feel like I have to include it in my Louvre visit just because...


Winged Victory


Louvre


close up of a painting of Napoleon crowing himself emperor


and the crown Napoleon crowned himself with


haha...I just liked this creeper...=)


la Pyramid


Louvre, again


oldest part of the building that is the Louvre today (at least the part still standing
above ground)...this was part of the original royal chateau back in the day


Louvre


inside l'eglise de St. Paul


St. Paul was built by Louis XIV, the Sun King; this is a pretty cool sun disk on the
front of the church.


front of l'eglise de St. Paul


I don't remember what this building is or where exactly it's located, but it had a really nice courtyard, good architecture and what not, and Mozart lived in the building way back when, so that's just kinda cool.


l'eglise de St. Gervais


Notre Dame de Paris
