there was a 'petite' dining room, and right next door, this 'grande' dining room

There were beautiful ebony cabinets all through the apartments
The Order of Malta
had to get this one for Ron; a sword and dagger of the Grandmaster of the Order of Malta
The Louvre
this displayed intricate carvings of events from Jesus' life
The Louvre
another photo of the queue we avoided; it was big enough when we arrived, then it doubled, the lines were way too big to fit in any photo
Paris Skyline
taken from the top of the Pompidou Centre in the direction of Montmartre (Sacre Coeur has an amazing location, not obscured by anything!)
Another Queue
another queue we avoided, this time by sheer luck - there was no-one when we arrived, but this was there when we came out
Moulin Rouge
a photo of the Moulin Rouge and the ubiquitous Coke sign
The Starving Multitudes
we were shown a park where all the locals go; the sun was out so it was packed
