Paris re-visited

I realised that I didn't write a whole lot about Paris last time I posted about it. So I thought I'd remedy that!

Since I was there at the end of two months of wandering, I wasn't really up for "doing" a whole lot. I had two full days, and basically spent the time wandering around. My evenings were pretty low-key, too, although one night I went with my CS host to a ladies' night (I suppressed my usual opinion of ladies' nights for the occasion!) and one night I went out in the Marais district with another CSer.

The city can look fairly medieval at times, especially down near the Ile de la Cité:



And, of course, there are the contrasts I wrote about last time (not sure what the church in the background is, but this scene is from the Montmartre district):



There were tourists who were much more purposeful than I:



Also more purposeful, those at the wreath-laying ceremony at the Arc de Triomphe:



And I couldn't not take a photo of the Palais de Justice:
