Pompidou Center, Paris's museum of modern art is housed here. The picture is taken from the Place Igor Stravinsky, which is dominated by the first contemporary Parisian fountain.

Carrousel in front of Hotel de Ville.
Hotel de Ville, the town hall is a 19th-century reconstruction of the 17th-century town hall that was burned down in 1871. The square was once the main site for hangings, burnings and other executions, that is why my disgusted expression.
Hotel de Ville again, without me . . .
No other building is so associated with the history of Paris as Notre-Dame. Pope Alexander III laid the first stone in 1163.
Les Bouquinistes, the bookstalls on the river banks, are treasure troves of secondhand books and prints. Notre-Dame is seen behind.
Having a good time in Paris.
