On our last day in France we took the Hop-On Hop-Off bus so that we could get around to some of the places we hadn’t seen earlier.

The Eiffel Tower:

Sainte-Chapelle, which was undergoing renovations so several of the windows were boxed up while they were being cleaned and restored — still enough remained to get a sense of the marvelous light.

Notre Dame Cathedral:

It took a little over two months, but I finally covered all of our France trip in photos on my blog. I hope you enjoyed them — it sure was fun to re-live my trip this way.

I did two recap posts:

• Paris in July on July 1, linked to all the posts from June
• Paris in July — wrap-up on July 31, linked to all the posts from July

In August, I put up these posts:

• The Avenue des Champs-Élysées
• Day 2 — Paris, Musée d’Orsay, beautiful light on the Seine, Musée de l’Orangerie, and Centre Pompidou
• The Louvre and shopping in Paris!

I put even more photos up on my Flickr page: Joy’s Photostream.

I still have some French-themed books in the queue, so I look forward to continuing to participate in the Dreaming of France event each Monday. Check out Paulita’s post today for links to more posts about France: Dreaming of France — Bonjour 40.
