BIENVENU IN PARIS
CITY OF LIGHTS AND ROMANCE
Please let me show you all my favorite places.
I will also try and tell you about the
wonderful history of this beautiful city.
I love Paris and hope you will too.
- The Eiffel Tower was built in 1889 according to plans of engineer Gustav Eiffel. At 320 meters it was then considered the tallest building in the world. Originally the Eiffel Tower was built as a temporary structure to commemorate the centennial of the Revolution. Since then the Eiffel Tower has become an enduring symbol of the city of Paris.
On a clear day you can see the whole of Paris from the top platform.
There is also a beautiful cafe there, come join me for some croissants and cafe au lait. Are you getting hungry? Hurry up then and get here!
Now let's walk down the Champs Elysees, the elegant avenue aiming toward the Arc de Triomphe.I love those chestnut trees, lots of bark to sharpen my nails on.
The Arch of Triumph was built in memory of Napoleon's Great Army.
This major french cathedral is a masterpiece of gothic architecture.It's constructionbegan in 1160 and was finished in 1345. Napoleon crowned himself Emperor right here.
We mostly remember it as the setting in Victor Hugo's novel "The Hunchback of Notre Dame" What a movie, sent chivers down my spine too.
Victor Hugo lived here from 1832 to 1848
while writing most of his novel "Les Miserables".
I wonder how much one of those apartments will rent for today?
Lots and Lots of Catnip, right?
overlooking all of Paris. It was built in devotion to the
sacred heart of Jesus after the 1870 disaster and the civil war.
It is a place of pilgrimage where all are welcomed.
I think I will also say a prayer for all my loved ones.
Versailles the beautiful palace of the Sun King Louis XIV is about half an hour by Moochtrain from Paris. Wanting to escape the busy life in Paris, Louis had this chateau built in which he set up home and installed the government. Hey I can see hundreds of me in the famous Halls of Mirrors. I am one good looking tomcat. Look
at those beautiful water fountains. I could get used to living here.
Ok,all the Kittens want to go to Euro-Disney, so let's take a look
Hey this looks like FUN.
Let's not forget Le Louvre the most famous Museum in the world. It was built by Philippe Auguste in 1204 and was originally the royal chateau. It was later transformed into this Palace of Arts. Its collection ranges from Egyption art of 5000BC to nineteenth century work. Hey, just look at this Mona Lisa Smile and her eyes follow you wherever you go.I could just spend days in here among all these old Masters and all that Beauty. Love that Venus of Milo. But time is getting short and we have to move on... Just a minute, I want to share some of this Beauty with you.
