A subfreezing walk through Paris

Yesterday, as I was walking past the Invalides I saw this Citroen truck. I think it is about 50 years old.
I continued on to Luxembourg Gardens. There was a photo exhibit on the northeast fence of the garden. It was of views from train windows over the past hundred years or so. A few were interesting. Some were complete with sound effects.

I then went into the garden to see if the pond was frozen. I am intrigued by the little houseboat for the ducks!
I continued on to St Sulpice and then to St Etienne du Mont. I just like these churches and I had an hour to kill before the Irish Center opened. I then went to the Irish Center to see their exhibit. Photos of the Peat Bogland of central Ireland were rather dismal. There were a couple that appealed. Then I went to the Natural History Museum to see the gardens.

Monet painted something like this. I did it in a picosecond and there are no brushmarks!
FedEx has a very small presence in Paris.
And it was very cold in Paris.

Duck out.
