An example of wall decoration throughout the palace

An example of hallways throughout the palace

Louis XIV himself, flanked by Caesar.

The famous Hall of Mirrors

Paris from the bank of the river Seine

Looking down the Champs-Elysee all the way from Concorde to the Arc de Triomphe

Cityscape from the Eiffel Tower

Inside the Musee d'Orsay

These soccer balls are ours now! Cry all you want, you ain't gettin them back. Maybe you'll learn not to kick them all up in here. And stay off our lawn!

Les Invalides, where Napoleon's tomb is. 15 kg of gold was used to gild that dome

What graceful construction! What marvelous engineering! Yes, the four door Peugot hatchback is economical and practical without sacrificing style and safety.
