The view from montparnasse tower is yet another perspective of Paris. The tallest building in Paris.







The weather cleared for a time, so I thought I would risk waiting in line and climbing (386 steps up and then down) the tower of Notre Dame. Fortune smiled on me and the day cleared even more and I was able to see for the first time the view and the fantasy of the stone carvers of Notre Dame. It is not a stretch get from these gargoyles to fairy tales. And what must have gone through the minds of the men carving these beasts. What a treat.
Dinner next to Notre Dame with lifelong friends last night. Dinner was warm and charming, as it can be among friends. The view no less astounding.
