Paris-continued







Our Paris trip included going up to the 2nd level of the Eiffel Tower, (the next level looked very high!) and also to the top of the Arc de Triumph. Both sites gave us excellent views of the city and for photography.
A walk down the tree lined Champs Eleeses was lovely, we stopped half way for a coffee on the sidewalk and simply watched the world go by - we also gave our feet a nice rest!
The Louvre is a fabulous museum but it took us ages to find anything. I think that getting lost is the overall plan of the place when one visits here. we eventually found what we were after and 3 hours later surfaced into the outside world again.
Our day at Versailles was also very busy as it is a huge place. After looking through the Palace including the beautiful Hall of Mirrors, we then walked through the gardens having chosen a day when the fountains were turned on to a musical accompaniament which added to the overall picture of the garden.
On our last day I had a few hours in La Fayette to do some shopping and generally look around but Michael chose to sit this one out - wonder why!
