Salut!
Below you will find more pictures from Paris...yes, I'm really behind. What else is new?
Anyway, first, there are the pictures from when we actually went INSIDE the Louvre! Yes, I finally went in the big building that I have a million pictures from the outside!
the upside down pyramid!
Nike
side view
La Joconde (I've never understood this translation, but nonetheless, she's rather underwhelming, to be honest...)
Les Mysteres de la Passion du Christ...a bit trippy, I thought.
L'Odalisque (by Ingres)We learned about this in my Impressionism class! Yes, I'm a dork...
Le Venus de Milo (Aphrodite)
...and me!
Le Sphinge...as our art teacher would insist...she's feminine, not masculine (thus, not a Sphinx)
my favorite parts of the Louvre, the rooms of statues...wonderful :-)
THE Code of Hammurabi
...the butt shot. I couldn't resist.Now, we move to the famous, Moulin Rouge. Don't get too excited, it's not as glorious as in the movie, but we thought it was worth a photo-op.
My friend from high school, Annie, just arrived that night for her Paris program!
the famous cafe, Le Chat Noir
The area around the Moulin Rouge is FULL of sex shops, another reason not to be overly enthusiastic about the area. Nonetheless, it's kind of entertaining to count how many there are as you walk down the street.Once again, another area I've already posted pictures of, Notre Dame. However, here are more details of the interior and exterior...
