Paris Trip
Summer, 2001
Geof was going to the International Zeolite Association meeting in Montpellier, FR and Judy had a meeting in Toronto, so they went to Paris for a few days first and left the boys with Grandma in Beaumont, TX. Please enjoy a few pictures. Click on the picture to get a larger view.
Here are scenes near the Eiffel tower.
At the base and looking straight up.
Eiffel tower sticking out of Geof's head.
We stayed at a small local hotel, the Les Goebelins. The elevator was soooo small!
Here's a view in the fancy hotel area of Paris.
Gardens across from the Louvre.
Judy with a Jazz singer we saw in a Paris nightclub.
Les Goebelins Station near our hotel.
Here's some local scenery.
Here are some famous things in the Louvre. The Venus De Milo, and the Mona Lisa, which is very small.
Scenes from outside the Louvre. We had to wait quite a while to get in because of a staff meeting.
The modern pyramid entryway outside the old Louvre buildings looked awful, and the Parisians were not happy with it either.
Here's some stuff inside the Louvre.
And more scenes outside the Louvre.
Luxembourg Castle.
Artwork.
Moulin Rouge.
Scenes from Notre Dame.
The Opera house in Paris.

More onyx sculpture, and a picture of the archer.

The "Smart Car" caught our attention. They were really cute.
