This morning we went to the Louvre and saw the very underwhelming Mona Lisa and the less disappointing Venus de Milo.
This afternoon we took a boat trip on the Seine and visited the Jardin des Plantes and the amazing Natural History Museum.
This photo was taken from inside the Louvre Pyramid looking up at the spiral staircase and out to the beautiful Parisian morning sunshine.

Project 365 - Day 196 - 13th October 2010 - Old Tram Shelter
Project 365 - Day 196 - 13th October 2010 - Old Tram Shelter
Originally uploaded by robsteadman
In 1893, Matlock Cable Tramway, a cable tramway was built up Bank Road from Crown Square at Matlock Bridge to Wellington Street (at the top of Bank Road) with a stop half way up at Smedley Street where Smedley's Hydro (built by John Smedley) was situated.
Conceived by Job Smith, the tram was inspired by San Francisco's famous cable cars, and cost £20,000. When it was built it was the steepest tramway in the world at a gradient of 1 in 5½, and it rose 300 feet (91 m). The fare was tuppence up, penny down. It closed in 1927 after losing business to cars and buses.
The tram shelter from Crown Square is now in Hall Leys Park, a large Victorian park next to the River Derwent which opened in 1898.
