Il neige à Paris!

We had a great opportunity to visit Paris just after the new year. I combined the trip with some work and Jackie and the kids took in all the usual highlights: Eiffel Tower, Musée du Louvre, Musée d'Orsay, Arc de Triomphe, Champs-Elysées, and of course Disneyland Paris.

Arc de Triomphe in the snowfall with Ali holding a Doug's Fish Fry bumper sticker.

Daniel in front of the entrance to Musée du Louvre.

Jackie and George share a moment on Champs-Elysées.

Unusual view of the Eiffel Tower -- straight up the gut.

Eiffel Tower at night.

Mona Lisa (also known as La Gioconda) a 16th century portrait by Leonardo da Vinci during the Italian Renaissance. Can you find Max in the crowd?

The whole family inside Musée du Louvre.

Max and Ali in the Peugeot showroom on Champs-Elysées.

Notre Dame de Paris (Our Lady of Paris) on the eastern half of the Île de la Cité. Shown from western façade that is highlighted by the Portal of the Virgin, Portal of the Last Judgment and Portal of St-Anne.

Max posing on the left bank of the Seine, across from the Musée du Louvre.

Ali wolfs down a crêpe before the next museum.

Interior span of the Musée d'Orsay, built on the left bank of the Seine, housed in the former railway station, the Gare d'Orsay, a Beaux-Arts building constructed between 1898 and 1900 in time for the Paris World Exposition.
