Travel~ Travel~ Paris - 7th May 2008

Arc de Triomphe

Finally after more than 9 hours on the bus, (we were getting so restless!) we arrived into Paris. And Paris being Paris was too expensive for the tour to arrange hotel for us in the city center so we had to stay just outside of Paris. We went straight to the hotel, checked in, rested for awhile and then went directly for the optional night excursion which felt more like a late afternoon tour because it was still bright until 9:30pm! The bus took us around Paris, crossing the beautiful bridges and then went onto Avenue des Champs-Élysées. We could see the Arc de Triomphe right in front of us at the end of the road. We had an hour of free time around Arc de Triomphe to find dinner before heading off to go up the Eiffel Tower.
