Shen Yun International Company heads to Europe in early January. Can you guess the city? (Photo by projectionist Annie Li)

That’s right, Paris! And such a trip would not be complete without a visit to the Notre-Dame Cathedral. (editor: little did they know the cathedral would catch fire three months later) (Photo by Annie Li)

After six sold-out performances in Europe’s largest theater—the Palais des Congres de Paris— Shen Yun International Company visits the Louvre, the world’s largest art museum. (Photo by dancer Kexin Li)

The Louvre is considered the most visited art museum in the world. (Photo by Annie Li)

Annie Li takes a walk to the Arc de Triomphe du Carrousel for a closer look, and photographs the bas-relief under its main arc.

The sun sets in Paris. Goodbye Louvre! (Photo by Kexin Li)

Posing as imperial palace guards, these dancers are always ready to protect. In this case, they’re protecting Paris’ Palais Garnier. (Photo by Andrew Fung)

While touring the Palais Garnier, Principal Dancer Monty Mou poses in the Grand Foyer. (Photo by Andrew Fung)

The Arc de Triomphe honors those who have fought and died for France. Careful driving around it though—it’s the center of 12 radiating avenues!

Even the street lights are exquisite in Paris.
