Cours la Reine - February 16

On a beautiful Wednesday afternoon this past week I took a walk along the Seine on the cours de la Reine. Which goes from just about the Palais' to the Pont d'Alma. It was a very pretty walk, possibly created by Marie de Medicis in the 1600s. 
Thought that this was a neat view of the Eiffel Tower through a tree at dusk.
 Below is a statue of General Lafayette, who helped the US win the Revolution. It was donated by the American Daughters of the Revolution.
Below is a memorial to martyrs during the Armenian Revolution (? i think?)
More photos of the Seine, the Eiffel Tower, and the sky

The Eiffel Tower and the Flame of Liberty, which marks the tunnel where Princess Diana died. Used to have written graffitti memorial on it but the city washed it all off in 2002.
