50TH ANNIVERSARY II .....PARIS 2015



Musee d'Orsay 



  















The Building itself is the Highlight of this Museum




Note, no lanes....It is every man for Himself
Cars, bikers, motor scooters, taxis, trucks and Buses
There appears to be no speed limit but what the traffic will Allow.
There are very few traffic lights and I understand that there is only One stop sign is all of Paris
Crazy and beautiful at the same Time
 



Tuilerie Gardens just west of the Louvre













One of at least two bridges across the Seine
where lovers have placed locks of every description to lock their love together.




Paris is definitely a city of Lovers 







Life along the River Seine














Exhibition Hall
20th Century World's Fair
