Statue of Liberty, Luxembourg Gardens

Luxembourg Gardens

Luxembourg Palace

Medici Fountain, Luxembourg Gardens

Concorde Metro Station (Line 12).  The letters spell out the text of the Declaration of the Rights of Man.

Luxor Obelisk, Place de la Concorde

Fountain of the Rivers, Place de la Concorde

View of the Canal Sant-Denis, from the Jim Morrison footbridge
