I have never seen so much sculpture as in Paris. Practically every building in the city centre has monumental sculpture of some sort.

I only got a few snaps on a recent trip so here is just a morsel of what is on offer over there. I hope I can get back soon.

The Zouave on the Pont d'Alma

The bridge has been rebuilt but the old Crimean warrior has remained. Seemingly Parisians use his feet as a guide for flooding. If the water touches his toes then watch out!

The gaudiest bridge I've ever seen! Pont Alexandre III

There's a LOT more to it than just these two photos. I'll have to upload some more to Photobucket.
