Q&M Paris Trip 2009 (Part III)

This is a really captivating lamppost in the Place de la Concorde. The Place de la Concorde is the city's largest square and was laid out in 1775.

This is the fountain that is in the middle of the Place de la Concorde.

A cute cookie tree in the window of Laduree, a magnificent Patisserie.

Chocolate Easter Eggs in the window of Laduree they looked so good and so pretty. Little pieces of edible art. The line to get goodies at Laduree was quite long but well worth it.

There were giant doors of many colors everywhere in Paris. They had different decor on and around them and interesting doorknobs. That is me in standing in front of the pretty red doors. Good thing its far away because I was not looking my best!

L'eglise Sainte-Marie- Madeleine

Closer up

This is the view across the street and a little to the left of the Sainte-Marie-Madeleine Church. It was a party cloudy day and there were a lot of people inside of the church. I think it was because it was Easter Sunday.

I took this from the steps of the Sainte-Marie-Madeleine Church. You can see the Obelisk and fountain that are in the Place de la Concorde further down the street.
