All in Architecture

Whirlwind

Friday night one week before Christmas, we walked from the Arc de Triomphe de l'Étoile, down the Av. des Champs-Élysées, through the Christmas Market (before the Berlin truck incident), through the Louvre, down and the Rue de Rivoli, and through the Marais, until we stopped at Benedict for dinner seated at the bar.  It seemed like the entire city was out walking, shopping, and eating.  Nothing says Paris quite like the Eiffel Tower and the traffic circle around the Arc de Triomphe de l'Étoile.

The Norton Museum in Palm Beach was undergoing some sort of renovations or expansion when I visited, but the garden courtyard was very nicely designed.
