Our first stop on Monday was the Louvre. After elbowing our way through hordes of tourists to see the Mona Lisa, we make the executive decision that the museum was like every other we'd ever seen and left. Next we strolled over to the Eiffel Tower and climbed almost 700 steps to the top huffing and puffing along the way. Did I mention there were still more throngs of annoying tourists?! We were rewarded with a spectacular view of Paris for our trouble so I guess it was worth it. A short hop skip and jump away - after a chocolate/banana crepe - we found the Arc de Triomphe and yet another 200 stairs. :-( (Paris's most infamous roundabout...)
Tuesday was Normandy, Thursday the Loire Valley and today the Palace Versaille. We'll write more about these guys later. (With pictures.)
So today's our last day in Paris. :-( We've seen and done pretty much everything we set out to. Next stop... Bordeaux!
