Paris, France

Posted by ERiCA on Aug 11, 2005 in Europe, France |

Today we got up and did some low-key sightseeing, which was fun. We saw any number of statues, fountains, etc, and wound up at the Fair in the Jardin des Tuileries by the Seine and took a ride on the big Ferris Wheel (La Grande Roue), upon which we got to view an amazing panorama of the city.

We walked past the Louvre and the big obelisk, the Assemblee Nationale, and other monuments.

Next we went to Invalides where we wandered the grounds and took a gander at Napoleon’s tomb in the dome church.

Afterwards, we swung by the Arc de Triomphe. I’m not sure if he was more impressed by the Arc or more terrified by the crazy traffic circling the roundabout surrounding it. (Something like a gazillion lanes. Rumor has it that car insurance companies don’t cover accidents at this site.)
