Jardin des Tuileries, Paris, France (2011)
| Photo below: The "Pyramid" in front of the Louvre. |
| Count me among those who
see that "Pyramid" as atrocious. However, if
you stand at the Pyramid, turn your back to it, and walk
straight ahead, you can enjoy an outside statuary garden
and the art in the Jardin des Tuileries. Photo below: Statue across from the ugly Pyramid. |

| The above sculpture found
in the Jardin des Tuileries is described as "vaguely
humanoid." There is a discussion about the sculpture
HERE, in French. Photo below: Carosel in the Jardin Des Tuileries. |
| Cost for one ride was two
euros. I rode on the blonde pony with the turquoise
saddle and was a kid again, for just a few minutes. Photo below: "La Foule," by Raymond Mason. |
| From the Jardin des Tuileries, I continued to the Avenue des Champs-Elysees. |
