Day 5 - Louvre, Carnavalet, Picasso, Pompidou Museums and Champs Elysees walk

Winged Victory sculpture. I love this statue. It's really impressive in person.


Venus de Milo's butt crack.


Michelangelo's homoerotic slave sculpture.


Some shots from the Louvre's ancient Egypt section.



Couldn't take pictures in the Carnavalet museum, but it was pretty cool. Lots of French history.

Some examples of Picasso's genius/madness/pranksterism. I still haven't decided which of those three he was more.




The funky fountain outside the Pompidou Modern Art museum. We were tired and not very enthusiastic about the art inside, so we didn't go in.


Obelisk at the Place de la Concorde, site of many beheadings during the French Revolution (but the Obelisk wasn't there yet during the Revolution).


Looking down the line made by the Obelisk, Arc de Triomphe, and La Grande Arche de la Defense.


This was our last day in Paris. I'll start London on Monday.
