This page shows my personal impression of Paris, France.
	In 1969 I made a student visit to Paris. I attended the Bastille Day parade -- which I discovered to be quite military -- and listened on Voice of America to the first moon landing. I strode through the parks and tossed hard-boiled eggs from the Eiffel Tower. I visited museums and toured Versailles.
Other visits were in 1975 and in 2000. Impressions and pictures of my April 2000 visit are at my Paris 2000 page.
In the Louvre Museum -- it's pronounced with a silent "R" -- I took photos of Venus de Milo. Another version can be seen on my New York City web page.
The main staircase of the Louvre contains the great Victoire de Samothrace or Winged Victory statue.
