Streets of Paris







The Eiffel Tower

- is the single most visited paid monument in the world
- weighs approximately 10,000 tonnes
-Eiffel had a permit for the tower to stand for 20 years, meaning it would have had to be dismantled in 1909. The City had planned to tear it down (part of the original contest rules for designing a tower was that it could be easily demolished) but as the tower proved valuable for communication purposes, it was allowed to remain after the expiration of the permit.
(Reference: Wikipedia) :P

LOL.... fyi.








At last, the end of Paris, the end of France, the end of Europe trip.

BUT!!!! far from the end of holidays!!!!! more holidays pictures coming up....

Winter Holidays 09- part 6- Paris (1)

Finally, the last destination of my family's "euro trip".. :D

PARIS!!!!!

Officially my favorite city in europe. (so far at least... havent visit alot of other places)

Unfortunately, we didnt have much time in Paris. Therefore, we didnt manage to cover everywhere that we wanted to. I wanted to go to disneyland and watch the Moulin Rouge, but we didnt have time to do all that.

But still, we did went to the other important places! :)



Flight delayed on the way to paris!!! >.< Something ridiculous like 4-5 hours....


This is the view of our hotel. Was actually very nice. ^^



Paris Underground



Montmartre

This place is very very nice. I actually didnt know about this place until Sarah told me about it and said i must visit there.. And she was right.. Definitely one of the must in Paris!






Thought this was totally cool.


This guy's performance was actually very good. Was very surprised he could use the doll to sync the guitaring and the mouthing of the songs he was playing... Was totally entertaining.!!


i love this square, just behind montmarte!




Presenting....... The MOULIN ROUGE!!! - or so we thought >.< haha.... we followed the directions given to us by a shop keeper and we ended up to this "moulin rouge"... LOL




Theres LOADS of this kind of stores in Paris!! Totally love it!!



THE MOULIN ROUGE

- The actual one.! haha.... was really cool being able to see this place in real... only seen them in movies.!! lol.... I'm definitely going to go back to Paris to watch a Moulin Rouge Show! ^^
