" Hotel De Ville "

the christmas feel along Hotel de ville during the night.


But don't assume that this is a hotel!
this is actually Paris' administrative building where the Mayor works.

Notice the police car on the left though,
there was an ongoing demonstration regarding employment cuts when we were there.
or as they say it in french "chômage".


on our way back, this has got to be the coolest and
unusual window display I've seen. ^0^

" Tour St. Jacques "

Is it this tall and scary?...

...not really.
This is one Gothic tower you'd find along the Marais, on the way to Centre Pompidou,
not hard to find since it's near le BHV mall, a popular store that sells kitchenware and housewares.


This is what remained of the church that dates all the way back to 16th century.
You can't appreciate its interior but there is a charming park around the area.

" Manège "

who doesn't like a merry-go-round when you see one.
sometimes it's nice to be a kid again...
