Paris, Part 1

Went to Paris last weekend. Its a really really really beautiful city...here are some photos of what I saw in Paris. This will definitely be a multi-part entry, as I have TONS of nice photos to show you guys.

Notre Dame Cathedral (Notre Dame de Paris). 

Yes, this is the cathedral where Quasimodo, the Hunchback of Notre Dame supposedly lived in Victor Hugo's book. =)

There was a playground behind the Notre Dame Cathedral. As you can see, we put Derek onto a giant spinning disk and had some real fun spinning him around until he couldn't walk straight!

Pompidou Museum of Modern Art. 

Apparently, the architect of this building thought it'd be nice and creative to put the internal plumbings of a building on the outside and use it as the skin of the building.

Champs Elysees. 

This is the world's most expensive and famous shopping street.

Louis Vuitton's flagship store on the Champs Elysees. 

I heard that the bags here cost a few hundred dollars less than in Singapore or other parts of the world. I guess that explains why there were so many tourists carrying huge bags full of LV merchandise...
