Sleeping in…ahhh, this feels good! There was no place we had to be, so we made it a nice and relaxing morning.
We wandered through St. Germain des Pres and made our way over to Notre Dame Cathedral and Sainte Chapelle. Paris is much ‘busier’ than in our previous visits and line-ups to get into museums and other buildings of historical significance were an indication of this.
The Louvre (which houses the Mona Lisa and many other prominent pieces) was our next stop…not to visit (we’ll do that later in our stay), but just to walk around.
We walked through Tuileries Gardens on our way to see an exhibit of Renoir paintings at the Grand Palace.
Finally, we took an evening stroll along the Champs-Elysées. At one end of the avenue is a carousel (ferris wheel) and the other is the roundabout with the Arc de Triomphe in the centre
After a great dinner at one of restaurants along the avenue, we made our way back to the apartment to enjoy some hot tea and yummy chocolate. mmmmm…did I say that I love Paris?!

Get the museum pass! You bypass the lines and can see dozens throughout Paris. I think the big electronics store sells them or Prisunic.
I love Paris!
Yes, already have the museum pass! We got them as soon as we saw the first line-up.
Gorgeous photos! I'm living through your lens!
