Two correct answers this week! First in was Paris Karin at An Alien Parisienne, to be followed by Vreni of Vreni’s Vienna Daily Photo. Congratulations, ladies!
DOme on the Chapel of Église Saint-Louis des Invalides
Paris Karin was first in with this response…
…the chapel at Les Invalides: the Église Saint-Louis des Invalides. It contains, among others, the tomb of Napoléon.
Right you are, babe! It is indeed the dome on the Chapel of the Église Saint-Louis des Invalides. Enjoy those Chupa Chups badges, ladies!
Concerning this week’s photo…

I’d like to turn this site into more of a collaborative effort, if at all possible. For that, I need your help!
If you have taken a picture of Paris on your smart phone and would like to show it off to the world, why not do it here? It doesn’t have to be super artistic–there are enough photo sites of Paris as it is–just taken with a mobile phone and that’s all!
Please send a copy of your photograph to Paris.Paul.Prescott@gmail.com and I’ll let you know when it’ll be posted.
Thanks so much for your help!
Please feel free to check out my Paris Inspired fiction here
C’est le Passarelle Debilly. A very good place to be victimized by the old gold ring trick.
Correct! Thanks for playing, Anne!
See you in the streets,

Anne!! *waves* So fun you won!!
It’s nice to “see” you here, and I hope things in D.C. are going well for you. Hope Sandy did not kick your butts too hard.

That´s the Passerelle Debilly, between the Pont d´Iéna and the Pont de l´Alma.
Another Badge for your collection, Vreni!
See you in the streets,

Thank you for the congratulations.
My answer for this week shall be in a subsequent comment.

Okay, I admit I did not know this one off-hand and had to research a little. I know just where it is (well, duh, it’s pretty obvious, lol), but have not actually been on it for myself, just under it as I took one of those Seine cruises just before I left. It is the Passerelle Debilly — a pedestrian footbridge over the Seine. More at Wikipedia here! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Passerelle_Debilly
Oh, one more thing I just saw at Wikipedia there. At first I thought this might be the Viaduc d’Austerlitz. They look a lot alike. But that is WAY over on the other side of Paris, and not at all near the Eiffel Tower. Then I saw this, “Its architect, Jean Résal, also designed the Pont Alexandre III and the Viaduc d’Austerlitz.” So, same architect! Interesting that the Passerelle and Viaduc are very similar-looking, but Pont Alexandre III practically Rococo by comparison! I can’t believe they are all contemporaries.
I’d research it more, but I have 300 more words to write for my daily goal of NaNo, and I was silly and decided to take a “short Internet break.” Oops.
Back to it.
