Down the Rabbit Hole

Sometimes a stroll through the Jardin des Tuileries is better when wearing wings.

As time goes on, I get a little closer to the hedge maze that scares me.

Elizabeth Gilbert's bestselling Eat, Pray, Love is popular over here, too.

Descending the stairway to heaven...

Cynthia thinks this would have made more sense as a birdbath.

If you were staying at the Ritz, you would prance out to behold this bronze column in the middle of the elegant Place Vendome (near the Place de la Concorde). It's modeled after the Roman Trajan's column, and its spirals tell the story of one of Napoleon's greatest victories, the Battle of Austerlitz, where his armies defeated the Russo-Austrian army on December 2, 1805.

The ferris wheel no one will ride with me in back of the hedge labyrinth that frightens me.

This is a statue in the Jardin des Tuileries (next to the Louvre), crying because no one will go on the ferris wheel with him either. (He's not made of stone, you know. Oh. Right.)
