Art Challenge-Paris, France

On Facebook I was nominated by two local photographer friends to post three images a day for five days on past work. I took another look at my pictures from Paris and started from scratch and re-processed them. It was fun taking another look.

 

My Paris Trip (Part 7) More on the Left Bank

After leaving the Jardin du Luxembourg I headed north on Rue Bonaparte and came to the Saint Sulpice Church with its large fountain in its front courtyard.

 

If you continue walking along Rue Bonaparte you come to another cathedral on the corner of Boulevard Saint Germaine called Paroisse Saint-Germain-des-Prés. It was another beautiful church.

I also visited the tallest building in the West Bank the Montparnasse Building. It was a true tourist trap, but had a nice view.

Looking down I was able to see one of the largest cemeteries the Cimetière du Montparnasse, so I took a stroll through the graves. It reminded me of New Orleans.

My day always ended along the Seine. Here is a view of the Louvre.

My Trip to Paris (Part 6)

Musée de l'Armée
This is the perfect Museum for Military buffs. I only spent  a few hours here, but could have easily spent the whole day. I focused mainly on World War I and II artifacts. The buildings were originally built to house wounded soldiers during the reign of Louis XIV. Now the buildings house the Museum, the Dome Church or the Tomb of Napoleon, and the Cathedral of Saint-Louis des Invalides.
