France - 2002

I took a mighty fine trip to France for two weeks in October, 2002.  Wandering through Paris, Nice, and Lyon, along with day trips to Monaco, Cannes, Versailles made for quite a trip and over 500 pictures.  These pages exhibit a couple hundred of the best ones for your viewing pleasure.  You'll note that I took pictures of lots of things I thought were interesting, or historic, or something.

Warning - All the way though I'm writing captions from memory, so please take them with a grain of salt.

Paris

The Louvre was a very impressive place, though I guess different than I expected.  Certainly a giant place; would take two days of power viewing to see it all, more like 3-4 for most people.  These pictures are difficult to organize, but I've tried to lay them out according to art type.

  Louvre King's Apartments

The rest of the city was just as interesting, so I had to hit all the tourist sites:
