I am so impressed with him and his attention to the details of his adopted city. It's wonderful that he is giving free tours, sharing his vast knowledge. I hope to meet him one day. If I get back to Paris (did I say "if"?) I will work around his schedule!<br /><br />By the way, I see my "annoying" links below the comment box. I don't know why this happens with my blog more than anyone else's!

I have not been to the Louvre in years, actually it was in 1968 to show my husband. There were not that many people then. Last year in May we also walked around Montmartre and even went into the museum. I have not written posts about it yet as there have been other trips after that. Actually right now we are on a trip – in Memphis to celebrate both Father’s Day for my husband with my daughter and our 45th wedding anniversary. I read your post about St Malo. I love that city – stayed a month there with my mum for vacation once. In case you did not know St Malo was almost bombed to the ground by the US in 1944 – trying to get the Germans out. They did not know that there were only 70 Germans left and kept bombing the town. The town was bombed to over 80% and was rebuilt exactly as it had been, looking quite old, but it is not old. It looks like you had a great trip.Vagabondehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10774109692564954568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5681875145919050501.post-47968416229978607502012-06-17T19:33:16.649-04:002012-06-17T19:33:16.649-04:00What an absolutely magnificent church!

I would not want to be responsible for parallel parking in those streets, or even driving in them for that matter, and as I think of it, probably not even walking up those steep hills.<br />I love graveyards too, there is a small, barely visited graveyard within walking distance from my home with only about 25 graves, someday I may have to post about it. <br />And (sorry I have so much to say!!) how ironic that you saw that orange cat on the same day that Gyp began deteriorating.joycehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17545344280343271652noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5681875145919050501.post-19740977637969821492012-06-17T01:40:51.347-04:002012-06-17T01:40:51.347-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.hi-dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10194003093055617551noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5681875145919050501.post-30811369444814601232012-06-17T01:40:24.829-04:002012-06-17T01:40:24.829-04:00Your photos are quite amazing!

(I did see Sacre Couer, tho', and highly recommend it, both for the beauty of the church and the views from the steps.) You sure captured the beauty of this area, Jeannie.
