Two weeks in Paris at the beginning of October 2000.

The Louvre was stunning.  Buy your tickets in advance, on the net, www.louvre.fr, or at a branch of FNAC.

The Musée d'Orsay was hardly less stunning.   

The doorman couldn't have been more helpful.   

The Musée Rodin was like a hidden treasure.

Modern architecture around the Grande Arche at La Defence.

The Seine.       

A few of the famous sights are not in the best of taste.

We were not impressed by Notre Dame; it makes York Minster look very good indeed.

These were better   

Now for the sticky-up bits.
