Arc de Triomphe – In Photos dot Org

Parisian Tourists

On a road leading to the Arc de Triomphe in Paris. Tourists line in the middle of the road, in relative safety from passing cars, but other tourists stop and take photos with their phones.

Tourists flock on to the road near the Arc de Triomphe in Paris.

Admittedly, I was one of them, but I was just walking across the road at the pedestrian lights.

A VW bus at the Arc de Triomphe

We had just come out of the metro with our suitcases from the airport when I saw this VW bus, or as I’ve just found out, a Volkswagen Type 2, pulled over to the side of the road on the busy roundabout at the Arc de Triomphe in Paris.

It was a lovely August day and this vintage vehicle was a perfect foreground to the magnificent monument in the background.

The man in the hat looking out the sunroof had a nice view of everything. I’m glad they stopped there. 🙂
