We were really tired so slept in. Got up and took showers, got dressed and walked out… There were markets on Rue St Charles that were closing coz they run only half a day. We walked some and bought takeout lunch, got onto the subway and went to St Michel – Notre Dame. We visited the Notre Dame Cathedral.
It was a really cold and foggy day. We walked around and then got on a boat at Pont Neuf (old bridge) and took a boat trip on the Seine. The boat took us around all the sites and monuments that you cannot see up close.
We then walked to the Pantheon and took a Metro to see the Arc de Triomphe. We walked on Champs-Elysees – really busy on a Friday night.
We had dinner at a pizza place and after that got onto a subway to go to the Arc.
We walked around it some and went to the top.
Though it was cold, it was most breathtaking sight at night – you could see all of
Paris…….
Street view from top of Arc
Eiffel Tower from the Arc
Stairway coming down the Arc
After this we walked back to the subway and caught a train back home. – It was going home early but we had walked all day – were tired and after all we were on VACATION.
