Hello world! I’ve been in Paris for a week on Holiday, so I have a fair few million photographics to share with you, as I snapped constantly, so ‘ere we go…

I had to go back to the mothership in Leicester, as I was going with my brother and met up with him.

I bought Dans beautiful Medium Format Yashica off him, innit nice!?

I got the chance to pop off and see Miseur Rudkin, Missus Rudkin and his brandNewBabyHuman™ Dexter!

Toddled down to the Boardroom too, stretched me legs on a whizzplank, it’s been a while since I’ve done that

Shot some skate shots of Kingy

Darryl was there too, we went on a filming mission and got all of zero footage. well done us.

And so it began, train from Leicester to Londinium

A night in the Travelodge and then it was up at 5am to get the 6.55am Eurostar to Paris! Myself, Dan and his friend Abi were ready for the off, France ahoy!

We couldn’t get into the hotel when we arrived, so we went upto Montmarte and it’s where Amélie is set! (That Carousel is in the bit where she spies Nino from the top and runs down to meet him)

After much hill climbing, having a coffee at the top and then lugging our bags back down again, we got into the hotel.

Dropped out stuff and had some lunch, reet opposite the Notre Dame!

Even the Nuns are hi-tech in France

Inside the Cathedral is beautiful

There were so many people infront of this cross, taking photos, so I thought i’d be dead clever and nip around the back

We were knackered by the time night fell, so tired that I’d fallen asleep 4 times before proper sleeptime (twice on the eurostar, a power afternoon nap & an early evening nap)

Anyways, after the 5th sleep in 24 hours, it was time to crack on. We went to this big building, I cant remember what it was, but it was big.

The public parks are really nice. Full of people just milling about, it’s grand!

Lots of fountains too, oh so many fountains.

Bit o’ quick shutter speed for this one

We went into the Catacombes, which are 1.7km long tunnels underneath Paris, they’re incredible.

It’s pretty gnarly too, because in the 18th century there wasn’t enough space for dead bodies, so started bringing them down into the catacombes, and now the tunnes are lined with millions of bones and skulls, it’s so surreal to see

They used to hold mass there too

…and a patio chair too. Nice place for a BBQ

After that, we sat on some cannons.

Amelie’s own road!

A trip to Paris wouldn’t be complete a visit to the Eiffel Tower!

We chose the walking-up-the-steps instead of the lift, because we’re dead ‘ard. I got to about halfway up until I realised I really really don’t like heights!

First floor is pretty high up itself!

2nd level is even higher, surprise surprise

The telescope looked like something out of ‘Robots’

Daniel famously told us that it’d only take us “12 minutes” to get back from the eiffel tower to the restaurant strip we wanted… it didn’t, it took us over an hour. Didn’t matter, I got to snap lots of ‘paris-by-night’ shots…

We passed by this wierd tiny little opening for the Musée d’Orsay, which was essentially just a locked security gate but on the wall there was this awesome light-strip…

A hype williams-style photo shoot ensued, I took some portraits of Dan…

Was really stoked with them!

Danielson took one of me too.

Paris by night is a nice sight

We found a nice place to eat. The waiter told us about when he went to Carnaby Street 40 years ago

Next day, it was off to the Louvre.

It really is massive. I thought the glass triangle was the musuem, but that’s just the entrance. That whole palace behind it is filled with paintings & sculptures

Dan sketched alot of the pieces too. I was clever, I took a photo, it’s much quicker.

The museum is an exhibition in itself.

People went crazy for the Venus de Milo but it’s no better than any other sculpture, I’d even say it’s not that go. Wierd how much ‘hype’ certain pieces can get

The size of some of the paintings is just incredible…

Check out that ceiling!

People go crazy for the Mona Lisa too, which is, dare I say, a bit rubbish. There’s SO much other great stuff on those walls!

Everyone was shooting it. I thought I’d go second hand and snap someone else’s snap.

Had lunch on the terrace, shezzam!

The whole place is just mind blowing, even vacant corridoors look nice!

Who the hell frames those paintings?

Napoleon VIII’s apartments are straight-up MTV Cribs-style

I set off the alarm in this bit, as I stretched over too far to take a photo and it started going off. I made a swift exit into another bit, woops!

Some of the windows looked like Darth Vaders TIE fighter window bit

As we left, it was perfect light to get snap-happy

There was much lens-swapping happening, about every 6 minutes infact…

We strolled to the park just over from the Louvre and set down and watched the sun set

This duckling was awesome. It didn’t seem to grasp swimming quite right, and would go forwards to the edge of the water, then go into reverse and swim backwards in a circle until it faced the right way again. It did this all the way around the fountain.

Subtle. Real subtle. We didn’t eat there, my eyes were too busy bleeding neon.

The next morning it was time to go home, so we had one last breakfast – a visit to the Boulangerie, some croissants, some paun au chococlats and breakky by the Seine!

One last musuem visit before we had to go, this time it was a photographic musuem and there was a huge exhibit of Annie Leibovitz’s work, which was rad

Before I knew it, it was time for me to leave Dan & Abi and make my way back (as I was travelling back on my own, earlier as I didnt want to get back into Bristol late)…

Eurostar was rad, well comfy!

Free drinks & free 3-course meal + iPod = nice journey.

Last train, this time from London back to Bristol.

Home! Hello Brizzle!
