I will be away for a bit more than a week - back to Sweden. To give you some distraction, I will for once make a quizz.
I was up on a rather high point the other day and zoomed a little. I will kindly ask you, if you wish, to indicate which of the Paris landmarks you recognise on the pictures you can see in large below the "circled" patchworks. The zooming makes it sometimes not so easy; some are probably very easy but a few may be more difficult. I will leave the comments open, so you can help each other.
There is no prize, but be sure that I will offer some champagne to whoever shows up in Paris and wishes to join me.
I wish you two nice weekends - and the week in between!

My best wishes to you, Peter!
Let your journey time will be nice and happy!
For the quiz I'll be back.
I have some guesses on a few, some I'm sure of. It's fun, but I will perhaps email my answers.
Bon vacances, Peter!
Hey Peter, a very fine week in Sweden to you ! and two weekends !
I recognize almost all of them, just a couple I'm not sure about... will wait to see the answers...
I hope you have a nice week in Sweden with your family!
Love these photos, principally the top of the roofs, it's stunning, just amazing! But the quizz... I guess it's difficult...but I will try...
I remember well when you told me about tried to find my place on Google. I agree with you, by airplane is much better.
These pictures are absolutely gorgeous. I hope you are on top of the world this weekend.
The first photo is breath taking!!!
Excellent collection of rooftop photos.
Have a nice prolonged week in Sweeden Peter.
Best wishes Peter.
I recognise the Eiffel Tower - do I get a prize for that one?
Hoppas allt är bra i Sverige. Vi ses, Peter.

I spent quite a while staring at the clay cylinders after having enlarged the 1st photo! Amazing!!!
Thank you anyway, Peter, for trying the google search on Lisbon churches! :-)
I think I know most of the landmarks but I'm not going to spoil the fun for everyone else :-)
You're flying North, I'm flying South!
Have a great time, Peter!
I know all of them, but I'm not that certain about #9, I think I know what it is, but....
Champagne? Did someone mention champagne? Well I was there so I can't play but may I have the champagne anyway????

safe journey! Beautiful photos!
I like IMG_9701. There's an interesting tension between backdrop and foreground.
I am not sure about all of them. I will need to study this closer! I think Alain has guessed them all though.
Enjoy your time in Sweden!
I hope Virginia gets that champagne and has a glass for me!!!
Tu as un zoom puissant! Ha det sa gott i Sverige.
Un petit bonjour de Prague
je ne joue pas. je les connais tous...je crois.
Bonne journée.
Je trouve la première photo très belle, Les toits de Paris sont magnifiques.
Et ensuite, tous ces domes, ces flèches, ces tours sont splendides.
Ai un bon séjour là-bas. A bientôt !
il va falloir que je revise mes monuments de Paris. Bonne vacances
Spectacular photos! Good trip, I hope!!
Can I play ? lol
Have a nice vacances!

Hello dear friend!
wow for me it's a little bit difficult! I think I need to wait for Cezar to help me with this quiz!
Wonderful pictures as usually !
God bless you
Greetings from Luxembourg
Léia :)
De passage à Cergy, je jette une oeil sur les blogs amis. Est ce que si on trouve où tu étais on gagne qchose à boire aussi ?
Tu étais sur la terrasse du Printemps, au 9ème.
A plus tard Peter, je serai maybe repartie à ton retour.
Tu nous fait monter au septième ciel avec toutes tes photos magnifiques!
I'll look at the quiz tomorrow and be back then.
I would love to join you for the champagne though.
Have a nice time in Sweden.
I liked your blog very much.I appreciate for your beautiful photos.
You are welcome in my blog.
whoa! i love paris and all its beauty but for a non-parisian like me... i think the test is a nightmare! :) horrifying! :)
mais, j'aime tout les photos!
et aussi, bon voyage a toi et a plus! :)
Hi Peter!
Hope you have a good time in Sweden!
Sorry, I'm to lazy with quiz,
I have vacation.
I might have to go down your archives for that one. But I am still sure that you will offer me Champagne if we meet even if I do not!
I came here 3-4 times to see what people are guessing but nobody wanted to take that risk except Alain !! I guess he is correct then.
And when you have champagne with so many, don't forget this little birdie ! :-)
I think Alain made it!! Great work; so the Dom Perigon is already in the freeze... ;)
Enjoy your vacation!!
Hi !! This is so a beautiful location !! I loved the amazing places..THanks for sharing the beauty..Unseen Rajasthan
Bon retour chez toi!

I love your photos
Makes me really wanna go to Paris ^^
Have a safe and fun trip to Sweden and back.

Beautiful work as usual, Peter...
Hey what happen to the images you promised of Square Cardinal Wyszynski...???
Feasting...:
They will come! I have a few, but they are not good enough for publishing. :-)

Gorgeous view of the roof tops!!!

I don't know any of the Psris landmarks except for the Eiffel but I LOVE that first photo of the roof tops.
