Where was this Mopar Brochure/Ad Photo shot?

[MrMoparCHP]

I am so jealous of you world travelers. Closest thing I got like that is my state capitol. Ugh!

I'm far from a world traveler, been to Europe twice (Paris, Turin, Pompei), I want to travel more, maybe when I retire next year.

For me when I see a picture of a cool place I might like to visit I try to find it and put a pin on the map.

Long before the internet I was addicted to old highways and their evolution. Seeing old pictures made me want to know what it was like now, at first it was the easy/obvious ones then somewhere along that transitioned into location hunting. My trip to Turin was all about this, I had already located every location from the movie The Italian Job (1969) and felt that if I ever had the opportunity to see them in person I would.

Just a few from that trip

Lived in Paris four years for work. Been to Torino a dozen times for work, but never got ahy sightseeing in. Pompei/Herculaneum .... fascinating yet very sad. Those poor folks didnt know what hit them.

Retirement does loom for me as welll. I will see more of America in my bus, hopefully I can drive those Detroit beasts well into my seventies.

Just a few things left internationally .. back to London, back to Rome, and my daughter wants to drag me (and a lady friend) with her and hubbyy on a Viking tour of the Danube.

I'm pissing and moaning about it, but I do wanna go back to Budapest

My wife and I did the Romantic Danube Viking river cruise last September. It was amazing! Prague is a beautiful city!

My mom also did the Danube river cruise and LOVED IT!

Someday I will make it to Europe…. But paying for college for the kids for the next decade will take persistence. :-(

This one appears to have run its course.

The background building is Sacré-Cœur in Paris. It in on Montmartre (a hill in the City, in use for centuries), in an area of the same name. The exact area in/on Montmarte is Place_du_Tertre.

This stucture, and the Montmarte area, should be considered for one's "short list" of an inexpensive walking tour or a city filled with stuff to see. Much of what Paris has to offer represented in this relatively small area.

Still a bit of hike (like five miles) to walk to the Eiffel Tower. Consider grabbing an Uber, but it would be a wonderful trek if you had time/felt like it for a good look at the north side of the Seine.

Sacré-Cœur looks old, but its "only" about 150 years old. B&W pic below is 1882 under construction. You can see the elevation of Montmarte.

As mentioned I was there with my niece in 2019, we had just been by the Basilica and were heading down the hill to Moulin Rouge.

Same plaza just off to the left.

shopping, art, food (I never got used to the outdoor seating .. but hey, its Paris. Everybody does it!) and the most beautiful brick streets.
