I've seen Paris, I've seen France...

The Louvre or to be more precise the pyramid in fron of the Louvre. 

The victory Arch? in front of the Louvre, you can see some of the Louvre in the Back ground.

One of the statues in the gardens in front of the Louvre

The Lions gate entrance to the Louvre
Not entirly sure what this building is now, but at one point it was a nunnery and at another it was a school. It got sacked during the revolution, I think it was a nunnery at that point, for the daughters of rich aristocrats that could not find suitable husbands. It is a very beautiful building either way.
The obligatory picture of Notre Damme, there are billions of photos of Notre Damme, the Tour Eiffel and The Moulin Rouge, I will do my best not to add to the unecisary numbers.

To the right behind the fountaine is the Eifel tower, to the left is a hirogliphic monument, placed here in the remaine of what was previously the sister statue to America's statue of liberty and before that the arena where they beheaded the aristocrats during the revolution. this monument is here primarily because of it's lack of political meaning to avoid unwanted conflict.
Palace of the invalids, a castle built entirly to get homeless soldiers off the streets and give them care in their old age.

This is the public library, or to be ore exact, half of the library, the other half is off screen.

The Railroad Station, or one of them, but the oldest one in Paris.
