A giant watering pot sat nearby. :)

We strolled around the edges of a modern, mostly-underground shopping
mall, Le Forum des Halles.
| The impressive, Gothic Tour (tower) Saint Jacques.
| A closer view of the top. It's stunning. And look how far the narrow
gargoyles stick out.

An ever closer view of the top of Tour (tower) Saint Jacques. The
detail is extravagant.
| The park at the base of the tower.
| We happened upon Notre Dame Cathedral.
| Notre Dame's famous gargoyles.
Artificially brightened.

Rue da la Huchette in the Latin Quarter. It has lots of Greek
restaurants. Some have a pile of broken ceramics in front--they break
plates when someone enters.
|
We found some spraypaint artists at the end of the street. I'm always
impressed by what they can do with a few cans of spraypaint, a
piece of paper, and a straightedge.
| The nearby Rue Saint Severin has many raclette and fondue restaurants.
|
We also passed a street with many creperies.

Pont Marie bridge. People still sit by the Seine at night (look to
the right). Also, when we passed the Seine earlier at night
(just after dark), we saw people having a picnic on the footpaths,
wine and all.
