Car-burning seems to be a traditional French past-time! During the World Cup I ended up in the eye hospital after getting too close to the smoke of a burning vehicle & a fragment of something lodged itself on my retina! In February I had a bike accident on the Promenade & my shoulder hasn't been the same since. For some reason my doctor sent me to a Gynaecological clinic to get x-rayed!

Here's a photo collage of some sights I came across in Paris.

France really is a marvellous country & I've only seen a tiny part of it. I hope to stay as long as possible & discover more.
