Thursday : Fine
We had an awesome day walking about town today! We caught the metro to Montmartre, there is a nice view of Paris from that hilltop village.
It is a very pretty little village Montmartre, we had a walk through the hilly cobblestone streets and past loads of people painting portraits and caricatures too. We wanted to buy so many things and so much food from all the shops and restaurants as well.
There wasn't the best view of the Eiffel Tower from ground level. Kim has been here before with her parents and said the best view is from the top of the church. I wasn't bothered about climbing the church I was happy sitting in the park looking out over Paris.
We then walked down the hill and headed to the Louvre, it took about an hour with a couple of pastry stops. We said we would go inside again if the line wasn't big, but the sun was out and we have been in before so we kept on walking.
We walked through the gardens across from the Louvre and bought a couple slushies. We then walked up Champs Élysées and stopped off at a few shops along the busy street.
When we came to the Arc de Triomphe we had a short break, love the look of that arc! Watching the roundabout traffic is fun too. Then we headed down to the Tower for a longer break, can't get enough of this tower either, we sat in the park on the other side of the river this time.
It was a big day of walking today, we headed home and stopped off at a shop and picked up a few items to make dinner. We had a nice pasta and a side chicken salad, with wine of course.
