We soaked up the ambiance of Paris on this, our last full day in France.
On each side of the doors leading into Le Bon Marche are these wonderful tiled panels. Le Bon Marche has the title of being one of the world's first department stores, from 1850.
Gustave Eiffel was consulted for parts of its structure.
The clock tower of the Hotel de Ville has the commonly seen phrases on French public buildings, seen on the bottom of the picture, Liberte Egalite Fraternite (Liberty, Equality, Brotherhood).
It was too bad that one of our favorite Jazz bands,
Pink Martini, was playing after we left. They are from Portland Oregon in the USA and are a treat to watch perform.
