I've been to lovely Paris several times by now. :-) These pictures from 2002 and 2004 are the only ones I have in digital form though... Which is a pity, I really would've liked to share some pics of Disneyland Paris (where I was twice). :D *lol*

(This picspam will be in 2 parts, because I don't want to have more than ~45 photos in one post.)


Basilique du Sacré-Cœur de Montmartre


view from Sacré-Cœur (this was pretty early in the morning, so it's rather misty...)


Place des Vosges

Moulin Rouge


La Seine


Palais de Justice


Cathédrale Notre-Dame de Paris



inside Notre-Dame (sorry for the blurriness...)





Hôtel de ville (city hall)




Tour Eiffel


Arc de triomphe de l’Étoile


Avenue des Champs-Élysées


Place de la Concorde


Musée d’Orsay


Arche de la Défense (aka Grande Arche)

Bonus:

On 23 July 2004 I was innocently strolling down the Champs-Élysées. *g* Then I came to this cinema where lots and lots of people were standing around, behind barriers that formed some sort of passage from the road to the entrance.



I figured it must be some kind of premiere of "I, Robot", so I decided to wait around for a bit to see what happened. ;-) After a while some probably important (or at least invited *g*) people started to arrive. Including...


Will Smith!! Unfortunately this is the only photo I was able to take where you can actually recognise something...
I was standing right behind the woman whose hand he's grabbing here, so I could've touched him if I wanted. ;-) 


Apparently that woman is Mia Frye. I had never heard of her before though... *shrugs*

So you decided to NOT touch him then? Shame:)

Thanks for sharing! I've been in Paris ages ago...

Haha. Yeah, maybe I should have! But I didn't want to interfere or something. ;-) And I had several bags with me which I didn't want to fall over or people trample on, so... It was cool to actually see someone like that from that close though. :D

2004 has been my last time in Paris too, sadly. :-( Plus looking through all the pictures really wants me to go again! *sighs*

I've been to Paris in 1994, I think. Disneyworld had just opened...

Disneyland Paris opened in 1992. We were there the very same year, and then one more time the year afterwards. I found my tickets (which are quite cute *gg*) just the other day. :D

Anyways, that is indeed a bit further back... ;-)

Thank you. :-)

It was! Even more so as it was totally unexpected!
