Sex in Paris

Ok, ok, calm down people – nothing happened in Paris. I was just thinking of a title for today’s story and looking at the pictures my twisted little mind came up with this as there are lots of photos of the Grande Arche de La Défense followed by a lots of photos of the Eiffel tower. So my sick little mind came up with the truly amazing title for this day – after all sex sells - (I don’t want to hear what a certain Mr. Freud would say about me – I know it by now anyway ...)

So as I moved into a cheaper hotel for the weekend, I rolled my stuff to the Novotel at the La Défense in the morning, went to work in Poissy and came back after work to head for the city. I met Bea on the way back from the office – she is moving to Poissy soon from Rakona plant. She works for QA and we had a nice chat in the train to Paris. As she wanted to go to Disneyland on Saturday, we said goodbye and not see you tomorrow ...

As I had to change trains in La Défense, I walked the last station and took hundreds of photos of the modern buildings of all the buildings around La Défense.

I got to the hotel just before the rain came down. I checked in and honestly didn’t feel like going out any more after the long week. So I decided to take the metro this time straight to the Eiffel tower and not walk around too much. I got off at the Trocadéro station (Thanks, Bea for the tip!!!) and shot another thousand photos. I also spent 11 Euros to get up onto the top floor – which was actually pretty amazing – but also extremely windy and cold. I rediscovered the ISO 1600 setting on my camera which enabled some pretty cool pictures which the natural lighting of the tower.



Some of the shots remind me of the last Alien movie – here is one – click on it for more:
