Paris pictures: round two

The neighborhood around our apartment was very charming as well. We were within blocks of the Hotel de Ville, Notre Dame, the Pompidou Center, and the Seine.



A beautiful church across the street from our apartment.





Frankie pulling a Marilyn Monroe on a breezy street grate.



The Hotel de Ville.



Matt and Frankie on a bridge over the Seine.


Many days, we'd walk over the bridge and hear street musicians playing the accordian. (Perfect, right?) This day, there was an American musician playing Jazz. Frankie loved it, and put a Euro in his basket.



Along the Seine, there were these tiny booths were street vendors sold antique books and old comics and magazines.



This is Matt and Frankie in front of Notre Dame.



The Scourge of Birds.



More from Notre Dame.



Frankie at Notre Dame, begrudingly posing for a picture.



The Seine.



The entire city is filled with lovely architectural touches. Even the bridges have amazing stonework on them, like this gigantic stone head.



The back side of the Hotel de Ville.

I love these pics!
The unusual, quirky stuff at the Fleas was amazing--I'm so glad you got to see it, Tiff. But that Dorian Grey-ish pic--GADS!

Frankie, Grandad would have really liked the jazz too. Good job saying thanks.
