The famous Pere Lachaise cemetery where lots of famous dead people reside. This is a quiet little lane passing through the place which is huge.
For the Easter Holidays, I decided to pop over to Paris for a week and a half in order to sample some Gallic delights of Art, Culture and Cuisine. It was not all play though, I visited the Ecole Normale Superieur as well as the University of Southern Paris in Orsay.

The Sacre Coeur in Montmartre. Best view of the city.
Place de la Concorde, near the Louvre. Just the place to hang out around the fountains, together with all the other tourists.
The Law Academy, I think.
The cliche at night.
A look up the old cloaca of the above cliche.
Foucoult's Pendulum in the Parthenon. This is a prime example of classical parallel transport on a curved surface. Read the book, see the real thing.
Some random gate near L'Hotel de Ville.
The Garden of Plants on the Left Bank.
Some random statue in the Louvre
I think she needs no introduction
A market in Montmartre, pure tourist trap.
An amusing sight in the streets of the Quarttier Latin. Two mormons trying to convert a Muslim. The Muslim was putting up a good fight though and tried converting our two followers of the Church of the Latter Day Saints. They must have been there for quite some time as I passed them several times as I strolled around the Sorbonne.
Another cliche of Paris.

The Sorbonne University.

Another Paris cliche
Not the London Eye. Cleopatra's Needle gives it away.
