Some choice photographs from Paris...

Sainte Chappel
Nice pic with everyone (but me) in it... that's probably why it turned out good!


The Louvre
What can I say... saving this for the next time. Want to visit it 2-3 times for short durations instead of a long visit. Just too much heritage/beauty/history to take in at once.
Napolean's Tomb
Another great landmark in the city extensively littered with monument after monument of phenomenal beauty & heritage. Monica & Pari do justice to the surroundings.


En route to the Eiffel Tower
Monica & Pari stopping at the Zebra crossing to wait up for us 'old people' !!


En route to the Eiffel Tower
Monica & Pari... legging it! Way out ahead of us! They got on like a house on fire... but then again, being the same mental age does help ;p!


Eiffel Tower Arch
Classmates in arms... under the Eiffel Tower Arch


Eiffel Tower
Initially, people just stared at us as if we were crazy... then, when they realised what we were doing, there was a whole crowd of people doing the same thing ! Nice idea though... think Sukhad/Pinti came up with that one.


Cafe de l'Homme
Rekha & I at the gorgeous restaurant. Terrific wine, brilliant food and great company!


Cafe de l'Homme
Roll Call (from the top) - Me :), Sukhad, Pinti & Monica Arc de Triomphe
Right next door to our apartment, we managed to visit it just before we left for Chateau de Versailles.


Chateau De Versailles
Rekha & Pari strike a pose in front of the beautiful chateau.


Chateau De Versailles
The Pande Family gets to strike a pose in front of the chateau now!


Chateau De Versailles
Beauty, as far as the eye could see. The pond at the top is actually a huge lake.. and the dots are people boating in it! The distance to the very end is a good few miles!!


Chateau De Versailles
Pari, in front of the 'musical' fountains! Great pic... she's really photogenic, even if I say so myself!


Chateau De Versailles
Pari & Rekha - striking yet another pose, with the blissful fountains as a backdrop.


Parking in Paris!
This wasn't the only one too !! We saw loads of cars parked like this! Thank god we got the VW instead of the Merc... Rekha would've killed me! Good call Rekha... you're right yet again :).
