Paris Day Trois

The day started with a metro ride to Arc de Triomphe. 





From there we slowly found our way back along the Champs Élysées. No longer as exclusive as it was .. now Zara's, H&M, and McDonald's :( But still a nice wide walking street with great people watching.



Then a detour to see the Grand Palais and Petit Palais.






Late lunch on the Seine....


To the Place de Concorde....where Louis XIV and Marie Antoinette were beheaded.


Last but not least the Louvre....



so enormous that it is said if you were to just GLANCE at each piece in the museum it would take you 9 months !!! 


We were there about 3 hrs and it was overwhelming at that. So much but here are some highlights ...









We were going to go back to the Eiffel Tower tonight to see it lit up but by the time we got home after 7 hrs on our feet, cooked dinner, had a couple of glasses of wine...lol.. it was 9:00 and we realized we are officially old :( Maybe tomorrow !!
