The Champs Élysées is a busy street!

Today was the day that we were going to see the two big icons... you guessed it the Eiffel Tower and the Arc de Triomphe. We took the metro to the Eiffel Tower and when we got there the line was HUGE, we decided that we have seen it and got the photo, there is no way we are staying in that line for 2 hours, besides we had a 56 storey view of Paris yesterday.




So we walked on and got on the free Seine river cruise (Bateaux Parisiens) thanks to the Paris pass. It wasn't bad but the recorded commentary is fairly boring and the school children were super annoying (remind you of anyone... Luke...)

After that we walked to the Arc de Triomphe. It turns out that our Paris pass allows us to skip to the front of the queue, so we did just that and climbed the many winding stairs to the top. We got awesome views down the Champs Élysées and the other Paris streets.



Finally we walked down the Champs Élysées, all the way from the Arc to the Jardin des Tuilleries in front of the Louvre - just to say we have.
