PHOTO DUMP (in which Natalie goes to Saint-Germain and on a boat tour of the Seine)

Saint Germain en Laye with Aunt Joyce:

The church


The chateau

The church door


The chateau gardens, with a four-poster bed floating in the middle of a fountain




Little white Alice-in-Wonderland-ish statues all through the gardens

And a sculpture of a bandaged elephant..










The view of Paris from Saint Germain (the tiny little spike on the hill is the Eiffel tower!)

Where Louis XIV was born, now a hotel

















L'Opera in Paris


Sidewalk-chalk drawings



Bateaux-Mouches: sunset boat cruise on the Seine










The love-locks bridge (though there appear to many)






Notre Dame





Au revoir!!
