So, in my T63 Adventures in Paris, I had told you about the shopping at Galeries Lafayette and Printemps. So, as I said we were told about the roof top cafeteria and the view. Well here are the pix and I must say, what a really nice little diversion. Funny no one had said anything about this. We had been directed to the Le Samariitaine, obviously the Tour Effiel, Monparnesse Tower, etc. This is me   K2, help! can't find my notes and I don't remember what this is.  I am pretty sure this is the Opera.  All of the black and gold cupolas are actually the sides of the Printemps building which is beautiful. as you can see, the day was great, warm and sunny. I would encourage anyone who is a foodie and a photographer visit Printemps and check this out. |

T63,
I think what has been fun to me, is that you and I stayed in different parts of Paris.
Since it had been many years since my last visit, I tended to hug the Seine both in my hotel choice and my daily adventures. At least I knew that if I could see the river that I could find my way. Except for that one little incident where I got lost. But we won't mention that for now.
Your stay near the Opera was very ambitious from my point of view, but you got to see so much that I didn't.
Although between the two of us, I hope we delivered a great adventure!

Ok guys, I will try to reload the pix tomorrow. Maybe you looked while I was modifying the size on some of them and that's why they didn't display.

Great pictures, T-63! You are so pretty, and look most sophisticated on your Paris perch.

T63, I'm pretty sure that the building you can't recall the name of is St-Augustin church. At least that's what it looks like to me.
Love the photo of you!

More excellent photos! Yes, that would be Saint Augustin.

Thanks to you all. I do have to give credit for the photos as they were taken by Mr. T63 with my Power Shot A540 Canon. Wait until you see some of his with the Canon SXI, especially some of the ones inside museums where you can't use a flash. Most amazing!

That is Sacré Coeur in Montmartre, not too far from my place.

We enjoyed the view of the Opera from roof of Galleries Lafayette, and going to fashion shows there and at Printemps.
