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 climbed to the top of the Arc de Triomphe and got another great view of Paris.

Good driving

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

  1. Great photos. Thanks for the phone call this morning (Sunday 26th). Grey, wet and cold start to the day here. Paul not home from his fishing trip yet. Hopefully will bring lots of blue cod home and we will have some for when you return. I bet you are just as excited about visiting Disney and getting your own set or Mickey Mouse ears Dean. Look forward to that photo!!!
