We left London on Eurostar on Monday morning and 2 hours later, arrived in virtually the heart of Paris.

| All lit up. The timing was perfect as moments after I took this picture the lights went out. |
 |
| Sacre Coeur |
 |
| As we reached the Moulin Rouge the police started to cordon the area off. We never discovered if it was for a guest arrival or a bomb scare. |
 |
| No left turn |
 |
| Paris Opera |
 |
| Musee de Lourve |

| We spent quite a while in the Islamic galleries. The artwork and the history of this region is amazing. |
 |
| Surprisingly, when we reached the room where the Mona Lisa hangs, we found it virtually empty; at least by comparison to the first time I saw her. I managed, on this viewing, to get a better image of her. |

| Preparing a room for a new installation. It was interesting to watch a team unpack and organise the items. |

| Street artist. We passed this guy setting up in the morning at about 11am and this photo was taken at about 16.30 |
Thanks Bessie. Liked your Paris photos, especially the one taken from under the chandelier and the street artist, all that talent and he wastes it on the street/footpath. Guess the passers by enjoy him sharing with them.
