LOL, I do that all the time, and then I wonder why my photos don't work.

Those photos make it look like the city goes on forever.

If you ever get a chance to go to the top of the Eiffel Tower or Sacré Cœur, Paris does indeed seem to go on forever. Its over 450 sq km. I don't know if that is the City proper or the whole Île de France, or just the "urbanized area" though.

what are the purposes of the 3 white buildings in the bottom left hand corner?

[Cotuit]

I have some Paris pictures floating around. I'll have to scan them when I get the chance.

[wolfdawg54]

I believe that they are government buildings. I studied French in my earlier years in high school and learned what the 'boxy' building is. I will find out for sure though.

go ahead and post them- people here might be able to tell you.

Here's some of my Paris photos. I have some more kicking around somewhere and will scan them if any look worth sharing. These are from the summer of 1990.













And these are from Lyon:

lyon seems like it would be a better place to visit than paris?

[Cotuit]

Lyon is stunning, I only spent an afternoon there, I wish I had had more time. Paris without a doubt is more lively and has more to do (I spent 3 days in Paris). If I ever get to go back to France however, I'll probably skip Paris and head south. But a lot of that is just me, I'm not that impressed with big cities, I like the smaller, less visited ones.

I had a french teacher in college from Lyon...

I have yet to go to France, but hopefully one day.

[BigCityAttitude]

[Fruit Cove]

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

I think it's France's second city, it has a subway. When I was there the streets were packed.

[Fruit Cove]

emporis ranks it as their 3rd population wise.
