  8. Bonjour Olivier!

    My wife and I visit Paris April 24 to May 3 of 2008. Beautiful city, food and wine was superb! We traveled to Normandy and Versailles for a day visit. 8-1/2 hour flight from Minneapolis to Paris.

    Yes, I do some work with HDR. I use the program called Photomatix. I have my photos labeled as HDR, only 4 photos from France are HDR.

  9. Merci for more Paris pictures!

    I visited Notre Dame for the first time in 2002 and didn't like it - it had been the 6th church we visited during the trip and I think I was all "churched out".

    But a second time around in 2007 I was completely in awe. It is such a stunningly beautiful and large building.

    You've just reminded me that next time, a night visit is a must. I would love to see it all lit up in person. And bring home the pictures!
