We walked from the morning till well after dark...

On Tuesday the weather was gorgeous, perfect for the Arc Du Triomphe, so we set off in the opposite direction in the morning. Miss Teagan took us on a 30 minute tour of a - what appeared to be - A museum spanning the history of Paris. We followed after her and the mission was complete once she had found a sought after painting (featured in the museum's brochure). Ross managed a look around the Roman history section while we perused the bookshop.

Following the museum we headed back and made very slow window shopping progress towards the Arc du Triomphe. After several hours (mum we even went past our last hotel), Ross and Teagan climbed the Arc while I sat underground nursing feet and buggy....also finished off the last of the thermos of hot chocolate.

I am not sure who was treated but we did have a great meal in a bar featuring over 20 Trappiste Beers on Tap and many many more available in bottle We made it back just before 9 pm.

Me thinks today will be the science museum - not too far to walk!

  1. You should have done some real shopping. I remember this the Arc de Triomphe area well (including the shops).

  2. The shops were fabulous but the wallet not so healthy....Teagan did spend her 5euro pocket money quite successfully on the Champs Elysee though!
