I love how they've even got the rolling waves portrayed and the fish.I've finally seen evidence of the Tour de France coming into town. On Thursday I saw a guy wearing Team CSC Crew clothes carrying a clipboard down near the Place de Concorde and yesterday all the barricades were up. Plus the grandstand set up for Bastille Day is still there. By the way, completely forgot to tell you that Bastille Day was utterly quiet here. We didn't go out to see the parade or fireworks and didn't hear them at all. Not even kids setting off firecrackers in the streets.
I've got friends visiting, so you may not see much from me for the next week. Not quite sure what we're going to be doing, although 70% chance of rain today and tomorrow is not enticing.

I would have a crick in my neck from staring up at all the architecture. Or else I would get run over. The photos are great.
Ah yes more wonderful French architecture. I'm surprised the taxi driver even tooted!
Enjoy the final stage of the TdF and all that comes with it. Enjoy your week Tonya :)

I've never seen pictures of this before. You're showing us the world, Tonya!

Thanks for sharing these. I love all the detail on them!
In absolutely LOVE your posts, the statues, the images, the lines in the carvings, etc. I save looking at YOUR post until I have time to savor the texture of all these carvings. 8-) Thank you.
Rainy days are always good for museum crawling -- but then again, everyone else will be doing the same thing. Enjoy your guests and share your adventures as you can!-
