Tour Eiffel

Bonjour! Today we visited the tourist magnet the Eiffel Tower. Got there right on opening and the line was bearable. Headed up to the top and got a glorious view of Paris.

We then headed to our new hotel which is really close to the Arc de Triomphe so we went and checked it out. We walked down Avenue des Champes Elysees which is an awesome street with all the high end stores.

We happened to be there when the Flame of remembrance was being relit for the unknown soldier.
