Out-of-the-Way Sights (Oct 19, 2025)

This morning, I went out to the western part of Paris to see some sights that are more modern.  


Another view.  The arch is 110 m (360 ft) tall, just over twice the height of Arc de Triomphe.   They were setting up a Christmas Market in front, so I couldn't get a full-on view.

More subway shots in the Louvre-Tivoli station (Line 1).  This is a block statue from Egypt's Middle Kingdom, ca. 2000 BC.

Marie Antoinette, porcelain bust

Statue of Diana


That's it for today, tomorrow is another (late afternoon) tour of another Paris landmark.
