I TOLD you I'd get the Paris photos up sometime or other.

So here we are with some images of Paris to sum up my trip in January. Starting with the Victoire de Samanthrax, aka the most beautiful statue I've ever seen. It's seriously breathtaking.

Stereotypical picture of the Eiffel Tower. No, I didn't go to the top because there were too many people. I went to the Musée d'Orsay instead.
Versailles, and Marie Antoinette. Lovely.
And, together with Versailles in all it's splendidness, we have... Jeff Koons, and his enormous plastic lobster and other works of art. I could be persuaded to appreciate it, if it weren't for the fact that I was there to see VERSAILLES, and history, not vaccuum cleaners put into plastic boxes to make a statement.
Finally, a rather blurry photo (I was in a hurry) of Paris in the snow! It doesn't snow much in Paris because of the pollution... But it did for me!

Multimedia Blogging!

So, my camera was broken when I visited the Dune Pyla, the LARGEST DUNE IN EUROPE, but other people not only had working cameras, but my friend Rémi actually videotaped the descent of the dune, which can be found at http://fr.youtube.com/watch?v=wWxpmZ9m_L8&eurl=http://www.new.facebook.com/inbox/readmessage.php?t=51604719096&mbox_pos=0

Check it out, and please try to ignore my very bad accent...
