| Notre Dame, Paris |
Here's a bonanza of pictures I took over the years around France in honor of Bastille Day today. Wish the photos of some other places not included here (Chartres, Carcassonne, Eiffel Tower, Lourdes grotto, Poitiers) had turned out better to give more variety--but c'est la vie. Bonne Bastille!
