TOUR DU PARIS

We arrived at our BandB at sunset.   The next day we planned to do Paris by beginng the day together, then do our own meandering in the afternoon. Ruth didn't take her map on the first day, so she tagged along with me.   We took the metro to the nearest metro station to the Sacra Couer, which is at the NE part of the major sights of the city.  Then we walked down past the Moulin Rouge, lost our way, found it again, and walked up the Champs Elysees to the Arc de Triomphe.   We stopped a few times, but we did it.   All in all we walked about 6 hours today.............exhausted, but functioning.   We had snacks along the way for sustenance, then stopped for dinner about 6 pm just before crossing the Seine to go to the Eiffel Tower and then back to our room for the night.
