You could float stuff on it that would normally sink like a rock.

Love Montmarte! Been there several times. Check out the video "From Paris With Love" - Melody Gardot. I don't know if I can successfully post the Youtube link:__________________________________________________________________________Carl, Montmarte only once for me, and very memorable in the mid 90's while on a business trip. Perhaps, the most memorable "place" I have seen historically. Would love to return as didn't have enough time to explore thoroughly.
The video is great. Thanks for posting. I saved it in my other YouTube music.
The Vikings Series had an awesome part about the siege of Paris, and showed a rendition of Montmarte.
Harry,
My last visit to Monmarte was about 10 years ago. I've been to Paris twice since then but I haven't made it up to Monmarte. The experience of the view, walking the curvy, cobblestone streets, past little shops that circle Sacre Coeur is such a unique cultural experience. Some pics from my last visit to Monmarte:

My favorite thing to do in Paris is to walk from the Arc de Triophe down the Champs Elysees to Place de la Concorde. Stopping to have a beverage in a bistro and people watch. Maybe have a fancy French pastry or a baguette. From Concorde walk through the Tuileries Garden past the Louve (that is a day visit) all the way down to Notre Dame and the Left Bank. Here are some photos that sort of follow that path:

Nice pictures thanks that's a walk I've never made.....

My last visit to Paris was just six months prior to the tragic fire that could have destroyed the Cathedral. For me these pictures are haunting as it would be the last time I saw Notre Dame in it's original glory.

The fire was started as workers were removing these bronze statues from the roof of the Cathedral. The famous spire of Notre Dame was lost in the fire.

Your photo skills are great, superb and best of all....your pictures show SCALE.
Most people zoom in on the subjects and then...others can't tell how big, small, close or far away the subject is. Oh, and some 45* angle shots...make me

Thanks for your 1st class photos.

I was.
It's rare to see photos that have another aspect besides the primary target.
Shopping on eBay, sometimes a seller will put a coke can beside the item being auctioned for size comparison. I smile inside when I see ads like that.Most people just listen to music and watch movies. I EXPERIENCE them. -

I include you too on taking GREAT photos also. The detail / sharpness is outstanding.
I definitely need a new camera.Most people just listen to music and watch movies. I EXPERIENCE them. -
Look what the mail man brought me today!

Didn't they practice in that house?
I think in the movie A Hard Days Night, they went to an empty mansion and chilled and practiced there.Most people just listen to music and watch movies. I EXPERIENCE them. -
