The Post War European Trip Collection-Souvenir Snapshots 5
Gloria Lee's continued travels. The first three photos keep us in Paris, image number four, perhaps, and the number five isn't. My first thought was somewhere on the Riviera, but then I remembered that she and her tour group spent a lot of time in Switzerland, a country with a fair number of really large lakes.

The Postwar European Trip Collection-Souvenir Snapshots 3
I think all of these commercially produced photos are from Paris. It's interesting to note that the cars seen in the bottom photo look like there all from the twenties or teens. Since Gloria Lee bought these pictures in 1948 it's clear that these have been on sale for decades.

Views of the World, Notre Dame Cathedral, Paris, France
I'd love to know when the original photo was taken. It's nice to see the horses and carriages, but where are the cars? When I was at Notre Dame, people were allowed to climb the towers. I can remember a tight squeeze, lots of steps and a great view. Don't know if the towers are still open to the public, but I hope so.
