PARIS - DAY 4

Final day - we took it easy in the morning but decided to take in one last site before the driver picked us up at 2:00...so jumped on the metro and headed for the Arc De Triumph.  We got there...a French flag was flying down the middle of it...the road was blocked off...yellow shirts everywhere...we were the last to figure it out that the Tour De France was ending at the Arc on Sunday (today).  We walked around a enjoyed the sites a bit before we headed back to catch our plane home.  Landed safely this evening and watched the Tour finish on TV and enjoyed seeing the places we had just been.

PARIS - DAY 3

Woke up Day 3 - more baked goods and took the Metro to the Louvre Museum.  Found some secret short cuts to get through the ticket line fast.  We all enjoyed the museum and seeing many of the famous pieces, although I'm sure you could spend 3 days there.  Mona Lisa,  Michangelo, Venus De Milo and more.

 

We left the Louvre and decided to enjoy an evening under the Eiffel Tower and eventually made our way to a local bistro for some dinner and a leisurely walk across the Seine to the Metro and back home.
