Looking back at the trips (2)

Okay, so there i was at one of the famous fashion capitals of the world, Paris. I've heard so much talk about this place, and it was exactly how i imagined it to be.... Stunning.





Some parisians might think that the Tour Eiffiel ( Eiffel Tower ) is just an eye sore or a plain normal iron structure that survived through World War 2, but i beg to differ.
The atmosphere around the tower at night is to say the least, phenomenal. I left my camera back at the hotel room, and i'm still regretting it up to this day. But thanks to Simple Dolphin on Flickr, i present to you the Eiffel tower at night.
the actual url for this picture would could be found here.

I bring to you the remarkable gardens of the Versailles palace and all its beauty.
I'll upload some scans from the magazine i bought on the Versailles.
Note: It's just the gardens, wait till you've seen the interior of the palace. Awestricken







Arc de Triomphe
Today this remarkable monument is the center of the world's largest traffic roundabout. If you are ever considering driving around the roundabout, i wish you good luck, unless of course you are a skilled driver unlike me.



The Arc de Triomphe also marks the start of Champs Elysees, which is one of the most famous streets in the world. Don't mark my words, but i think on this very street stands the largest dior and Louis Vuitton store in world, which is shown below. This is truly a shopping paradise.. If you can afford of course.








Leonardo Da Vinci's masterpieces ,The Mona Lisa ,The Virgin and Child with St. Anne , and the Madonna of the Rocks, just one of the few world famous paintings held in this museum. Also, they are the names of the paintings which are featured in the Dan Brown's Bestseller, The Da Vinci Code. When i told you i was a Dan Brown Fan... I was'nt lying. I had to come here.
