Foiled by a train strike we exchanged our rail passes for Giverney for tickets on to or tomorrow’s train and hit the tourist sites of Paris. First a long walk down the Champs Élysées including lunch – hard to believe but We didn’t buy a single thing!
We then went to the Arc de Triumph – went to the top – but were part timers and got the lift instead of the stairs. The weather smiled on us today so the views were fab.
Then walked across the river and went up the Eiffel Tower – could see for miles. Climbed down the stairs (again took the lift up) – you don’t realise how high you are until you climb down – over 700 stairs!
Tomorrow we are aiming for an early start to miss the queues at Monets garden – I am not the most patient tourist – and hopefully get back in time for a night trip down the river – cant believe our last day has arrived.
Better view than we had David.last day make the most of it. Back to the real world too soon.
Enjoy your last day! I’ve really enjoyed your blog. Will have to set one up for our next trip. Thanks for sharing with us.
