This will be the final entry on my trip to Paris, with snapshots of various locations. I will begin where it started - a shot of the Kingscross-St Pancras Station in London
Some streets in Paris near Gobelins by day.
The busy Latin Quarter by night (on a Saturday).
The Latin Quarter early on a weekend morning.
The St Michel Square besides the Latin Quarter.
The compact bookstalls along the Seine around the Notre Dame area, stretching all the way past to the Louvre.
A fountain with Egyptian motives.
And some wet pigeons and sparrows bathing at the same fountain.
A building nearby, vaguely reminiscent of the Wills Memorial Building in Bristol.
Another monument along the road.
An Aussie Bar.
The Statue of Liberty, or at least the one who faces her greater sister in New York close to the Eiffel Tower.
The Moulin Rouge and its scarlet windmill.
The majestic Basilique du Sacré-Cœur (or the Basilica of the Sacred Heart), standing tall and proud on the highest point of the city, atop Montmartre. The place of prominence befits the white building's wonder interior. I'm particularly fond of the massive Jesus mosaic on the apse, entitled
Christ in Majesty, which is among the largest in the world with the white dove above him (photography forbidden inside though).
And a good meal in a restaurant by the George V metro station, on Avenue des Champs-Élysées.
Has Optimus Prime disguised himself as some ketchup there?
And this is end of the journey, a view of Paris Nord before departure. One of the obscured train towards the left was the Eurostar we took.
And so concludes another memorable and enriching chapter of my life. A big thank you to all those I've met, from the organizers, teachers to all the international friends, you are the best in making this trip what it is!
