Paris


Here we are back in Paris again with Brent and Sandra for a weekend visit. Julie and I risked our lives to get this picture of the Arc de Triomphe at the end of the famous Champs Elysees. The Arch was built by Napoleon in 1806. Underneath lies the WWI Tomb of the unknown Soldier. The Champs Elysees is about a mile and 1/2 of the most expensive real estate in Europe. With the shopping that brings in people from everywhere in the world. The Champs is also the stage for the final leg of the Tour de France bicycle race each year.
