In an effort to avoid Paris becoming deserted every summer, the city now builds an artificial beach along the Seine - quite an extraordinary sight. When we lived there in 2003, it was the year of "la   more...canicule" - the hottest summer ever in France.

Lyrics:

In the summer all the streets here are deserted.
You can't find the Parisians or their pets.
It's easier to avoid the poodle droppings
As you walk that extra block for your baguettes.

The outbound roads are chock-a-block with traffic
As the city-dwellers bid the town goodbye
And they head towards the coast for their vacations,
Where the hotel prices reach towards the sky.

But in the city,
It's very pretty.
They've made a beach along the river Seine,
With children playing in the sand
And lovers walking hand-in-hand.
Oh, let's go down to Paris Plage again.

You can make an Eiffel Tower out of sand.
You can picnic and there's lots of games to play.
There are ice-cream stalls that only charge you double,
And toilets where you never have to pay.

It's such a pity
To leave the city.
You can lie in deck-chairs soaking up the sun.
Get a tan while you have the chance
And in the evening you can dance
To African drumbeats when the day is done.

In the city streets you'll only see the tourists
Queuing for the Louvre and Notre Dame.
The restaurateurs have all gone on vacation
But you can't close down that old Parisian charm.

Yes, in the city
It's very pretty.
They've made a beach along the river Seine.
The mayor of Paris had a dream
And brought about this bold new scheme,
So let's go down to Paris Plage again.

Let's go again
Down to the Seine
And join the bodies lying in the sun.
No matter if you're fat or slim,
Even though you can't go for a swim,
At Paris Plage you'll have a lot of fun.

With the hospitals and nursing homes short-handed
It's the hottest summer France has ever known.
Eleven thousand old folks never made it,
When their families went and left them all alone.

But in the city,
It's very pretty.
They've made a beach along the river Seine,
With children playing in the sand
And lovers walking hand-in-hand.
Oh, let's go down to Paris Plage again.
Let's go down to Paris Plage again.  less

Notre Dame in one world: Beautiful

The cathedral was the setting for Joan of Arc's trial for heresy in 1455 and Napoleon's papal coronation in 1804

First day of Paris, a list of the sites in this video:

The Eiffel Tower (Day 2 we went up the tower)
Napoleon's Tomb at Les Invalides
Arc de Triomphe
The Unknown Soldier

Jared and I also had our first encounter   more...with Gypsy.. Very interesting. Also Jared forgot to grab his jacket as we left home for Paris. So we had to find him a jacket to wear.. Of course, this lead to us all having matching Adidas (I actually ended up wearing Two Hoodies over each other during the entire trip)  less

Jim Morrison's Grave, we actually spent a great deal of time searching for it in the rain, cold and extremely wet day. Thankfully we ran into someone else who was doing the same thing, after you see the   more...cat run across the street, you will hear someone scream Here Here Here - that was so we would be able to find it.

Museum National D'Histoire Naturelle - Wow a collection. It was filled with bones from frogs to giraffes all the way down to dinosaurs. As well human bones and I was shocked to see that they had bones from a fetus. The collection was massive, somethings I didn't video tape where brains with stems attached it and every organ within a body.

Have to ask William for the name of the third place, sorry about that. But it was a great place to go for dinner we found out to late. Our last night was a great dinner and ended up having fondue (Beef fondue, cheese fondue, and a bottle of wine - it was the same price we paid for pizza the day before) BTW Yes those are bras hanging from the ceiling in one of the restaurants and be sure to checkout the drunk @ the end of the video  less

Paris is the capital city of France. It is situated on the River Seine, in northern France, at the heart of the Île-de-France region. Modern Paris is the result of a vast mid-19th-century urban remodeling.   more...For centuries it had been a labyrinth of narrow streets and half-timber houses, but beginning in 1852, the Baron Haussmann's vast urbanization leveled entire quarters to make way for wide avenues lined with neo-classical stone buildings of bourgeoisie standing; most of this new Paris is the Paris we see today. In this video you will admire the major attractions of the Capital City like the Arc de Triomphe, the Sacré Coeur, the Champs-Élysées, the Eiffel Tower and the Opéra Garnier.
