The fact that the famous «Vivoli Gelato» was closed in August shows the whole spirit of the land... On the contrary, Giolitti in Rome is open 365 days a year from 7:00 a.m. through 01:30 a.m.... They must close on February 29th... ;) <BR/>I also think you did a great job drawing the attention to Lucca. Usually people doesn't pay great attention to it, but it's worth the trip, to use Michelin's words!<BR/>Then we have the College des Bernardins: of course you had to be there on the opening day... ;) Though it was raining ( I caught all that rain to get to the Tate Modern on that day...), the pictures are great and the story quite interesting!<BR/>The Hotel de Cluny is an old acquaintance, but I never took pictures inside. For the Unicorn the best way is probably to buy postcards and scanner them... ;))<BR/>The Notre Dame pictures are superb! The only reference missing is to the «Officier des Arts et Lettres» George Whitman and his Shakespeare and Company bookstore... Not medieval, but historic!!<BR/>You seem to be lucky; further to the Batignoles Park, now you have the Clichy-Batignolles...<BR/>Caviar and foie-gras around the Madeleine, that's the place to be! Now, that the prices of the Iranian caviar have skyrocketed the chance is to get to the Prunier...<BR/>What I regret is that Xian is still on my wishlist. But one day I'll make it...<BR/>Finally, you are dealing with the 1889 icone of Paris. I'm sure that, after your three posts on the Eiffel Tower, the subject is finished! Nothing left... And that would be great for us!!<BR/>Many thanks for your comments on <A HREF="http://blogtrotta.blogspot.com/" REL="nofollow">Blogtrotter</A>, while I was off. It’s now on its way to Crete 2007! Hope you enjoy and wish you a great week ahead!GMGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06775262251208390861noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3198329362499789905.post-82047491438810430072008-09-21T18:35:00.000+02:002008-09-21T18:35:00.000+02:00Excellent post Peter.

What I like is you can go to the base of the tower and actually touch the base of the structure. This gives it a strange feeling of accessibility which is absent from many giant landmarks.<BR/><BR/>NB there was an interesting podcast on the BBC some time ago. It's still available here<BR/><BR/><A HREF="http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio4/history/inourtime/inourtime_20080214.shtml" REL="nofollow">In our time</A>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3198329362499789905.post-26859015942709889602008-09-21T14:49:00.000+02:002008-09-21T14:49:00.000+02:00La tour Eiffel est depuis longtemps dépassée en ha...La tour Eiffel est depuis longtemps dépassée en hauteur par bien d'autres constructions à travers le monde. Mais ce qui la rend unique par rapport à tous ces immeubles, c'est que elle, elle ne sert à rien, et constitue un geste purement "gratuit".
