Jean Paul Gaultier...

The flagship store on the Champs-Élysées...

Statues and Stuff.

This second pic could be me right now after spending my first Parisienne hang over day searching for apartments.

Arc de Triomphe

While photographing the Arc a couple asked me for directions! I had been in Paris less than 24 hours. Turns out they were a couple on their honeymoon from Victoria...Small world.
