Pictures, finally...

Here's the Moulin Rouge. I'd go see a show there, but the cheapest tickets cost more than 100 dollars each.

Here's the Louvre at night, aint it perty?

Here's the chateau at Fontainebleau. Eight centuries of French kings went to this place. It was also one of Napoléon's favorite haunts.

Here's me standing at the top of the main staircase at Fontainebleau.

A random chandelier at the chateau.

There's a room in Fontainebleau where the walls are decorated with one of the King's (I forget which one) china. Here's a plate with a depiction of Niagra Falls on it. He had it made for him after he visited the United States, before it was the United States of course.

Here's me taking a picture of me taking a picture at Fontainbleau.

Here's the kings' bed.

Here's a room and the bed where a pope stayed for a while when Napoléon held him hostage at the chateau until he would accept one of Napoléon's laws.

And here's the queens' bed. Marie Antoinette ("Anne d'Autriche" in French) had the room redecorated, but she never got to see it before she was executed during the Revolution.

A random hallway at Fontainebleau.

Another random hallway at Fontainebleau. Napoléon III had the shelves on the walls filled with over 1600 books from Napoléon I's personal library.

Napoléon I's throne room. This is the only throne room still in existence in France.

Sorry this picture is sideways. It's a picture of Jim Morrison's grave at Père Lachaise Cemetary in Paris.

Here's another picture at Père Lachaise. I took this one so that you could get a feel for the cemetary. It's like a small town, but instead of buildings, there are just giant graves everywhere; no simple tombstones here.

The next few pictures are of the Christmas window displays in Paris's largest, and ritziest, shopping mall. When you ask a Parisian what to do in Paris around Christmas, their first answer is always "go see the windows at the Galleries Lafayette." They look more impressive in person because all of the displays move and each has its own song. It's awesome.

Here's one of the main entrances to the Galleries Lafayette.

And finally, here's a picture of my school. I don't actually have classes in this building, but this is the Sorbonne.
