1st day in Paris "So that's where you work ?" What's that pointy goldy thingie by your window ? lunchbreak, i couldn't think of any other appropriate restaurant for my new American friend The Hunchback of Notre Dame "That's a big church for sure. Wait, that's Roman Catholic, ain't it? " Don't fall in the River Seine "So that's were you buy comics ?" "Let's have a look inside !" Waiting for the metro Considering walking down the tunnel Both paris street sign and metro signe all in one pic !

kick ass! looks like he had fun in France. is his adventure over now? or is there more planned?
I was looking for pictures of him at the Eiffel Tower but then I realized since Cobra and MARs knocked it down, the SEAL won't be vistiting there. LOL

That is cool as hell! Do you have the nanomite launcher that came with the ROC SS? That'd be funny to pose him at the Effiel Tower with. Definitely looks like he's enjoying himself so far.

Other than the Tower, not sure. I think I saw the Arch de Triumphe, but I can't remember. Where's Brian with a bootleg of the movie?

i know there was the Opera, the Musée d'Orsay, the Eiffel Tower, the Arc de Triomphe
i'm not sure about Notre Dame but it always shows up in movies...
there's alot of useless shots because most of the pursuit was shot in Prague.

I got a bootleg of the movie, but it's hard to make out much of anything.
Nice to see he made it to Paris! Nice shots you got there!

thanks,
i've finally laid my hands on a bootleg of the movie so i've checked the various sightings he gotta visit in order to re-enact the movie. I'll later put a map of all the locations and the order in which the pursuit takes place in PAris. You'll understand how dumb the movie is.

Don't worry, there are some more pics coming next week. I'm currently working on the ROC Paris pursuit map. i'll had pictures of each location if i can. I still need to shoot some pics of the Arc de triomphe (hopefully i'll do that on tuesday) and Musée d'Orsay.
Who's next on the traveling seal list ?
