First, here's the Tour (tower) seen from ground level, with the Seine in the foreground.
It's the white stone tower that's the tallest thing in the picture (at 16 stories).

And here's a close-up of the statue that you see on top of the column at Châtelet in the first photo.
Then, from the top of the tower, a classic view of Montmartre and the Sacré-Cœur.
Looking west and south at the Invalides church dome, CHM's neighborhood, and of course the Eiffel Tower.
Finally, looking south, with Notre-Dame and the Panthéon.
More to come, when I get back to my "real" computer at home. It ain't easy doing a full blog post on this Android tablet.
Congratulations! How jelly were your legs afterwards?
ReplyDeleteWell done... Pauline and I think the same as Susan!!
ReplyDeleteAnd well done for getting a post out at all...
rain now stopped there?
So happy for you that you made it up to the top of the tower. The view was worth it!!
ReplyDeleteLovely photos.
Susan, The climb was harder than I thought it would be, especially since the heat and humidity were so stifling.
ReplyDeleteThanks Tim, Pauline, and Virginia.
Thanks for these photos which I'll enjoy looking at when I need to see some Paris. You do well with your
ReplyDeletetablet. I'm going to start leaving my laptop at home, but I will miss it since it's like my left hand ;-)
Thanks for sharing
ReplyDeleteBonjour Ken (et CHM). C'est un escalier en colimaçon qu'il faut monter? Ça donne de belles vues sur Paris, mais aussi le tournis, je suppose.
ReplyDeleteWow!!
ReplyDeleteGreat photos....as usual.
