Colline du Chateau

Situated on the hill between the old town and the harbour, this park is a big favourite with locals and tourists alike. Surrounded by a typically Mediterranean backdrop of pine trees, carobs, figs and aloes, the park's impressive waterfall, children's play area, breathtaking views over the city, medieval ruins and Maritime Museum are all part of its appeal.

NICE beach day! (all caps mean it's the city, not the adjective)

Post Paris - 1st stop = NICE (pronounced like niece, or neese, or kind of like knees)

Walking along the boardwalk

Pretty water, huh?

Sundial

Some typical beautiful architecture.

Even this Chinese restaurant has some cool architecture on it's building (look beyond the bright yellow sign.)

Last night in Paris, sometime in June...

We met up with some Paris friends at a little bar in our neighborhood, however the name escapes me now. But here are the photos anyway.

Party crowds outside the bar, errrr, I mean all the French people who came to say good-bye.

Andrew and Michelle - awww.

Tim from New Orleans

Gabe from Montreal

Chloe from Arizona...not! Actually NEW MEXICO!

(sorry for the mistake, can't wait to see you in LaLa Land!)

cool nerds.

random shots #2 - and our street

I love this mannequin. She's so pretty.

and her pretty brown haired sister.

Our street in the 3rd Arrondissement

Above our door - Lingerie du Chat - oohlala!

Nicholas Flamel lived on our street.

He discovered the philosopher's stone and supposedly he and his wife still wander the streets of Paris. His house, this house, is the oldest in Paris built in 1407. Today it is a restaurant.
