Paris Videos

Sorry everyone, these videos are over a month old. I thought of posting them way back - but work got in the way. Better late than never.

The Eiffel Tower at night - night time is really the best time to view this beautiful structure:



A view of the city, taken from the steps leading up to Sacre Cour. Since this is on top of a small hill, it has become a very popular afternoon weekend hangout for young people. It also helps that the view is spectacular:



This shows the interior of Saint Chapelle church, just behind Notre Dame. The poor quality of the video does not do justice to the amazing interior of this place - the whole wall is covered with spectacular stained glass windows. If you go to Paris, DO NOT miss this place:



We took a boat ride up and down the river Siene, say hello to Mav:



The Tuileries gardens on a windy day - this sits between Champs Elysees and the Louvre museum. My feet were aching from all the walking we did - so we decided to take a short break here:



Ahh the Louvre, with its famous (and controversial) glass pyramid - the "scar" on the face of Paris. They said the same with the Eiffel Tower when it was built, and this pyramid does contrast with the surrounding architecture. I like it:




I shouldn't have posted these videos - now, I want to go back to Paris. It's such a nice city, its almost impossible not to fall in love with it.

Maybe in a few weeks. See you there! :)
