In honor of the end of the Paris Olympics, here's one of my last remaining pictures from our trip to Paris a couple of years ago. This is the Palais de Justice taken from the Seine.

Nice photo. A good example of the grand architecture in central Paris.
I am confused. I thought I would at least see a cat in one of the windows.
