Didn't actually take many photos yesterday. It rained all day and I went on a walking tour that turned out to be pretty lame, but it's really nice out today so I'm off.
Still haven't actually made it to the Eiffel Tower.
Arc de Triomphe... it rained all day.
This is one of Ledoux's Toll Houses - part of the Wall of Farmers-General, a wall that surrounded Paris and taxed all goods coming in. There were originally 62, but only a few remain as most of them were destroyed immediately after their construction in the French Revolution. Anyways, they're a nice bit of Neo-Classicism. Finding them is kind of like one of those internal games in Zelda.
