Vive Notre Dame! by Loup

HEYE Cartoon Classics 

 

Ladies and gentlemen, may you please direct your attention upwards

... because some things happen outside your field of view ... 

The guy with the flower is a bit too lustful

May the devil disappear!

A falling angel discussing with a couple - about what?

Please note the artistic performance of the dog, but - seriously - who's a good boy now? 

Do we really want to know what's happening here?

Sometimes the heavenly trumpets are too loud for the human ear - and a human face too much for a curious bird.

Feeding birds and little angels

Cheers to the hunters, trying to catch a bishop's mitre

May the devil disappear! Please!

New discipline: church bell rodeo

Downwards or upwards?

The nave is not made for pirates to hoist a pirate flag - seriously!

 

Okay, this is questionable: a dead witch, chasing the ghost with the axe

 "Les Monuments de Paris" by 123 RF

with Notre-Dame de Paris, Pont Alexandre III, Eiffel Tower, Arc de Triomphe, Basilique de Sacre Coeur, un Bateau Mouche sur la Seine and a detail of a sculpture of the Pont Alexandre III.

The Pont Alexandre III is a deck arch bridge. It connects the Champs-Élysées quarter with those of the Invalides and Eiffel Tower. The bridge is widely regarded as the most ornate, extravagant bridge in the city^. It was built between 1896 and 1900 and has been classified as a French monument historique since 1975. It is named after Tsar Alexander III. 

 

The Arc de Triomphe de l'Étoile, often called simply the Arc de Triomphe, is one of the most famous monuments in Paris, standing at the western end of the Champs-Élysées at the centre of Place Charles de Gaulle, formerly named Place de l'Étoile - the étoile or "star" of the juncture formed by its twelve radiating avenues. The Arc de Triomphe was designed by Jean Chalgrin in 1806.

 

 Bateaux Mouches are open, long, and often glass-covered excursion boats that provide visitors to Paris with a view of the center of the city from along the river Seine.

 

 The Basilica of Sacré Cœur de Montmartre, commonly known as Sacré-Cœur, is a Catholic church and minor basilica in Paris dedicated to the Sacred Heart of Jesus. It was formally approved as a national historic monument by the National Commission of Patrimony and Architecture on December 8, 2022.  The basilica was designed by Paul Abadie, whose Neo-Byzantine-Romanesque plan was selected from among seventy-seven proposals. Construction began in 1875 and continued for forty years under five different architects. Completed in 1914, the basilica was formally consecrated in 1919 after World War I.

 

Are there any news you need to explore the Eiffel Tower or Notre-Dame de Paris?? :-)

with "Bouquinistes of Paris"

The Bouquinistes are booksellers of used and antiquarian books who ply their trade along large sections of the banks of the Seine: on the right bank from the Pont Marie to the Quai du Louvre, and on the left bank from the Quai de la Tournelle to Quai Voltaire. The Seine is thus described as 'the only river in the world that runs between two bookshelves'.
