Bateaux-Mouches


The lazy way to see Paris.


This was a real bargain. The normal price was 15 Euros but we seasoned citizens paid only 5 Euros.


In many ways, this is the best way to see many of the traditional tourist attractions.


On the dock waiting for the next boat.


Underway! With the Eiffel Tower for background.


Another Bateaux-Mouche passes.

The tower without all the crowds and arab vendors

Jackie's apartment in Paris where we stayed


The stairs to the fifth floor. Lucky there is an elevator!

The garden path to the street.

The garden foilage gives a nice atmosphere.

It's kind of difficult to see but the right wall is covered with carpet to minimize fender scratches.

The auto must be parked very close to the right wall so one can exit the driver's door.

Backing out.

Jackie's Apartment and Garage


The stairs from the fifth floor. Luckily there is an elevator!


The foilage adds to the pleasant atmosphere.


A quiet spot in the middle of Paris! Our host Jackie's apartment is on the fifth floor.
