Splendor of Parisian landscape
To start with perfect sunrise
Sustains throughout the day so nice

Ideal ambience for escapades
Effiel Tower awe inspiring
Sets the mood for gallivanting

Choices of visits to be made
Historical ones aplenty

Great tourist sights are there to see

Absolute musts, notable greats
Venus, Caesar, Mona Lisa
At the Louvre that is where they are

Given  time Versailles is safe bet
Musee d’ Orsay, Notre Dame
Seine River ride and the Sorbonne

Splendor of Parisian landscape
Ideal ambience for escapades
Choices of visits to be made
Absolute musts, notable greats
Given  time Versailles is safe bet

    Love the photo; love the details you've provided. We were in Paris well over 20 years ago. It was a magical place. We loved the Musee d’Orsay. As I recall, we stayed in a little hotel, very very inexpensive with cracking walls and peeling wallpaper, on the Rue d'Bouchee (???) but the most memorable part of that stay, which made me not care at all about the peeling wall paper, was the tray delivered to our room each morning with hot croissants, a pot of jam, and a pot of coffee with a pitcher of steaming milk. Decadent. Oh we must get back!!!! Thank you for rekindling these memories!

    We missed Versailles when we were there. Notre Dame was my favorite place.

    Very nice use of form. Paris demands something a little sophisticated, I think!
