Paris Incontournables, original watercolor, 9" x 11 1/2"Les Incontournables of Paris are the "must sees" or not-to-be-missed monuments that hit you in face in almost any arrondissement in Paris.
L'Arc de Triomph is waiting for you in the 16th arrondissement. Rain or shine it still knocks your socks off.
The Madeleine in the 8th, another buliding of grand scale. Perhaps that's it. The scale of so much of Paris is human-sized so these big guys make such an impression by comparison...
Place Vendome is not really an incontournable, but the grandeur of it's open spaces let you experience the scale that makes Paris so special.
Notre Dame can not be missed. I find myself walking by it most days...
There are so many others and Paris kindly accomodates you with these history posts - a good way to work on your French while promenading around...
The Eiffel Tower seen from Place de Concord speaks for itself. Is any other city in the world so loaded with monuments or have quite this effect on us?
Of course can we ever forget the ALMIGHTY Macaron!I saw this huge poster hanging in a marche...
