Paris by night

The last night of Ruth's visit we took a ride on one of the tourist boats that cruises the Seine. I don't usually like such touristy things, but I must admit I do like taking the cruise after dark. Paris can be quite magical at night, and even the noisy students on our boat didn't spoil the ambiance.

Here are a few of the gargoyles on Notre Dame:



A hazy half moon was peeking over the top of Notre Dame:



And here is Notre Dame from another angle:



The Eiffel Tower seen from the river:



And this is the Conciergie, a former prison where Marie Antoinette (among many others!) was held before going to the guillotine:



I must admit that I'm quite happy with the camera that I bought just before leaving. All of these photos were taken by ME!
