Another Great Tour

Yesterday, I had the pleasure of taking Dave and Azie from the LA area out on the town. We had moisture in the air, but decided to brave the elements and head out anyway. Armed with a couple of umbrellas, we kept pretty dry and fortunately the rain didn't last long.

Dave and Azie had been in Paris for over a week and had seen much of it already, so we worked together to plan an interesting course and headed out.

One shot we took that you don't see very often in the States is how moving companies get furniture up to the upper floors of Paris aparments. Some buildings don't have lifts and some only have lifts just big enough for two people. Most have small staircases spiraling up to the top floors creating a problem of how to get big items up to the apartments.

In most cases, furniture is sent up on a huge hydraulic lift with a platform to hold the furniture which is then inserted through the window. The moving lifts are a common sight in Paris.
