Hotel de Ville & Hotel de Lauzun pics

Well here are the photos from this weekend as promised, enjoy! :)
View of the Seine River and the spires of Notre Dame Cathedral at 9:30 in the morning:
Inner courtyard of the Hotel de Lauzun:
Pretty snazzy, huh?



This was once a music room:
They planned out the perpective from this angle so that it looks like the rooms continue to go on forever:





Hotel de Ville
City Counsil meeting room, still used today:


My dream come true! Though not quite a big as the library that I saw in a picture (further down):
Papa, I know you would have really loved this clock...you can't see from the picture, but it's structure underneath was about 3 feet tall..
This lady was also a licensed watchmatcher and demonstrated her work on a few pieces:
You can't tell that well, but this is a picture I took of a large picture of a library...HUGE!

Annnnd I managed to get a man who spoke no English to take this photo of me in the Salle de Fetes..just wish he'd waited until I actually smiled, but alas.


I don't think I'll ever get over how beatiful these places are...I'm jealous of the people who get to work here!






One last shot of the Hotel de Ville:

Well, that's all for now, but I'm about to get started on my next entry for the day and it's shenanigans. Stay tuned :)
