A few photos from Paris

[JennB]

I took well over 1,000 pics on my last trip to Paris and decided to share a few of my favorites. I had a lot of cloudy days and even some rain so the light was not fabulous the whole time. A few of the days were just amazing though.

I also took quite a few pics of cars that we don't have over here but I'll save those for another thread. Didn't see too many supercars, just a few Ferrari's and an R8 but I've seen a few of those before. Still nice to see beautiful cars in such a nice setting.

Anyway, on to the pics of a the lovely city of Paris. I have a few hundred more my photo site, I'll share that with other photographers on here if they are Flickr members, but I prefer not to post my link directly on IA. They look better larger but I didn't want to make the thread a pain to look at

"France has neither winter nor summer nor morals. Apart from these
drawbacks it is a fine country. France has usually been governed by
prostitutes." --Mark Twain.


"I would rather have a German division in front of me than a French one
behind me." --General George S. Patton.


"Going to war without France is like going deer hunting without your
accordion." --Norman Schwartzkopf.


"We can stand here like the French, or we can do something about it."
--Marge Simpson


"As far as I'm concerned, war always means failure." --Jacques Chirac,
President of France
"As far as France is concerned, you're right." --Rush Limbaugh,


"The only time France wants us to go to war is when the German Army is sitting in Paris sipping coffee." --Regis Philbin.


"The French are a smallish, monkey-looking bunch and not dressed any
better, on average, than the citizens of Baltimore. True, you can sit
outside in Paris and drink little cups of coffee, but why this is more
stylish than sitting inside and drinking large glasses of whisky I don't
know." --P.J O'Rourke (1989).


"You know, the French remind me a little bit of an aging actress of the
1940s who was still trying to dine out on her looks but doesn't have the
face for it." --John McCain, U.S. Senator


"You know why the French don't want to bomb Saddam Hussein? Because he hates America, he loves mistresses and wears a beret. He is French, people." --Conan O'Brien


"I don't know why people are surprised that France won't help us get
Saddam out of Iraq. After all, France wouldn't help us get Hitler out of
France either" --Jay Leno.


"The last time the French asked for 'more proof' it came marching into
Paris under a German flag." --David Letterman

"Only thing worse than a Frenchman is a Frenchman who lives in Canada." --Ted Nugent.


"War without France would be like ... uh ... World War II."

"The favorite bumper sticker in Washington D.C. right now is one that says 'First Iraq, then France.'" --Tom Brokaw.


"What do you expect from a culture and a nation that exerted more of its national will fighting against Disney World and Big Macs than the Nazis?" --Dennis Miller.


"It is important to remember that the French have always been there when they needed us." --Alan Kent


"They've taken their own precautions against al-Qa'ida. To prepare for an attack, each Frenchman is urged to keep duct tape, a white flag, and a three-day supply of mistresses in the house." --Argus Hamilton


"Somebody was telling me about the French Army rifle that was being
advertised on eBay the other day -- the description was, 'Never shot.
Dropped once'." --Rep. Roy Blount (MO)


"The French will only agree to go to war when we've proven we've found truffles in Iraq." --Dennis Miller


Q. What did the mayor of Paris say to the German Army as they entered the city in WWII?
A. Table for 100,000 m'sieur?


"Do you know how many Frenchmen it takes to defend Paris? It's not known, it's never been tried." --Rep. Roy Blount (MO)


"Do you know it only took Germany three days to conquer France in WWII? And that's because it was raining." --John Xereas, Manager, DC Improv.

[JennB]

I have full size of all of them. Just made them tiny for a screen-friendly thread.

I have a few options of the Eiffel Tower at night

Click on original to get the really big ones

I wish i had a tripod up there with me when I took those though. It was really windy.

Looks like a beautiful place. Hope to go there some day.

Thanks for sharing!

[itsnotarex]

Amazing pictures. I hope you're enjoying your time over there!

Paris had an effect on me like no other place I've ever been to. I've spent all of 10 days there and they may have been the best of my life. I wanna live there someday. It's just a damned magical city.

....No homo.

[Frög]

ill be there, as every year in July..

Every year, I so excited to go back to my country.. But U.S. is my home, and after one month of being there, all I want to do is come home..

Love that place, but in small doses because of the weather, the life, the people, etc...

[JennB]

Thanks for the compliments
