Phespirit goes to France
Paris     March 2000

GALERIE DES CHIMIÈRES

Cathedrale Notre-Dame: magnificent gothic architecture, kaleidescope stained glass, hypnotic gargoyle trimmings and glorious views from the heart of the city.

Formidable.

QUEUING FOR ART'S SAKE

Phespirit's primary motive for visiting Paris was his desire to see certain works in the Louvre.

An early Sunday start guaranteed Phespirit a swift admittance; upon his re-emergence into the midday sunlight, the queue looked to be well over half a kilometre long.

L'HOMME PHESPIRIT

Our hero stands astride all Paris on the second level of the Eiffel Tower.

Having scaled in excess of seven hundred steps, this was Phespirit's limit;
Americans, Germans and Japanese were left to fight it out for the elevator to the top.
