Paris in Detail

"It's hard to take a bad photo in Paris."  That's what Matt Fusco says.  He and his wife, Peggy, returned with these shots.  This is a continuation of April in Paris - and side trip to Chartres (three pages).

Where else do you find rooftops like these?

Can there be too many pictures of Notre Dame? Not yet. But in fact the answer is yes - so only four.

In the Pantheon the following people are buried, inter alia, Rousseau, Voltaire, Diderot, Descartes, Zola, Dumas, and Hugo (against his will).  Why aren't Stendahl and Balzac buried there?  If Foucault's pendulum, which currently swings at the Pantheon, proved that the Earth rotates every 24 hours, why does the pendulum only rotate 272 degrees each day? And, for extra credit, does Umberto Eco know the answer?
