Taking a city break at L'hotel Novotel Paris Charles De Gaulle
Feeling in a technicolour mood after a breakfast featuring croissant avec cafe au lait
Note - un crossaint not multiples otherwise a much longer lie down would be necessary
Pocket size Tour Eiffel
Handy for travelling
With Bryn facing the Palais De Chaillot the photographer views the Tour Eiffel
This ended up looking slightly interesting. The building to the left looks like a blue lego block in comparison to the iron lattice tower
Hamish in Usain Bolt mode with one of the wings of the Palais De Chaillot in the background. The PDC was built in 1878 and is also known as the Palais du Trocadero. A large concert hall with two wings and two towers. Architecturally unusual it contains elements of both Moorish and Byzantine architecture. There is an aquarium below the building

Palais du Trocadero, it was a large concert hall with two wings and two towers. An architecturally-unusual building, it contained elements of both Moorish and Byzantine architecture. An aquarium was situated below the building.
You can never tire of looking at this iconic scene. Located on the Champ de Mars it was named after engineer Gustave Eiffel whose company designed and built the tower in 1889 as the entrance arch to the 1889 World's Fair. The tower is the tallest structure in Paris and the most visited paid monument in the world. Tour Eiffel is 324 metres (1,063 ft) tall and is roughly equivalent to an 81 storey building
No prizes for guessing what this famous landmark is
Arc de Triomphe Etoile. The Avenue Des Champs Elysees runs to the left of the photograph and the ADTE is situated on an enormous roundabout with 12 roads leading from the roundabout
Meeting with a real French person. The gorgeous Camille. A romantic connection to a nephew soon to return to Australia when the visa is approved.
Our rendezvous at a cafe near the Gard du Nord station
The Place De Clichy on the Metro
Deux legendes indeed, H versus B. Legends in their own lunchboxes!

One more than cinq and one less than sept
Another variant on a selfie!
