Walk-about in Paris # 1

From the Arc de Triomphe, hubby and I walked down the Champs-Élysées to Place de la Concorde.  Of course with camera in hand, I snapped away at buildings, shops and other things 🙂   …

Lunch at Pizza Pino on the Champs-Élysées …

 I popped into Guerlain to sample some beautiful perfumes 🙂

I love the architecture and the railings !

Gucci ..

Fascinating to see the clothes on railings perfectly spaced !

Charles de Gaulle at the corner of Grand Palais ..

Grand Palais … designed by Charles Girault, and built between 1897 and 1900, this elaborate exhibition hall with its splendid glass dome is frequently used for major exhibitions ..

Petit Palais ..

Magnificent entrance to the Petit Palais .. houses art collections of the city of Paris.  They contain 19th century works from objets d’art to paintings by the Barbizon School ..

Winston Churchill stands on the opposite corner to Charles de Gaulle on the side of the Petit Palais ..

Our walk-about continues …
