Paris - Top Ten Visited Pages

Paris in my pocket! - The Top 10 …

Thanks to the technical wonders of Blogger, Picasa Web Albums and StatCounter I have been collecting some statistics and information on readership of this blog.

I realise that it would take you all quite some time to read through every posting on every page here, and so for those of you needing a quick round up of readers’ most visited pages and images, I have compiled a list of the top ten postings in order of viewing popularity – there were some surprises.

1 – The Basilica of Sacré Cœur – Montmartre

This one doesn’t surprise me. It is an inspiring place.  Included here as a bonus then, a previously unused image of the Basilica. 

2 – Grande Arche Elevators

I cannot explain this one's placing at number 2. Yes, I do think it is an unusual image, and the Arche itself is impressive ....... but number 2?

3 – Ecole Militaire

A little surprising to find this one so high on the list, military affairs must attract more web traffic than I supposed.

4 – Paris (Sign at the Parc Floral de Paris)

This was the first image posted, so perhaps there has been more time for viewing it than the others – but then some fairly recent images also appear on this list. I suspect it is just that people love Paris!

5 – Chateau de Vincennes

It is gratifying to find such interest in the Chateau. I’d like to revisit it myself.

6 – Grande Arche  de la Fraternite (Detail)

In view of item 2, its not surprising this one appears.

7 – The Seine - Restaurant Boat

I checked to see if the post contained the word sex. It doesn’t so I cannot explain this one’s popularity either.

8 – Gazebo at Versailles

One of the later postings, it must be the romance of the place that attracts attention. Or, different expectations from the words Temple of Love?

9 – Boulevard Clichy

The word sex does appear in this posting ;-) ….. Say no more.

10- Louvre – The Pyramide from the Coeur Caree

I’m pleased about this one – it is one of my favourite shots. (My absolute favourite in the album is The Tomb of the Unknown Soldier which came in at number 13).

I have been delighted to find that many of these images have been selected for inclusion on Google Earth - quite an accomplishment for 'le little camera'.
