Day One Wednesday – Discovery Day and West Paris

Breakfast was at the Patisserie next to the Hotel. This was an Award-Winning Patisserie right next to street we were in. So Breakfast was Fruit Swirl for Jennifer while I had a cream filled donut, we also got a Baguette of course. We then walked LA Bastille where we had been the previous day.

The Cafe's were now Open. 

We then walked down the canal to the river Seine, 

  We walked until we got the First Island and explored it.

The fine statues,parks and the Homes.

London has it's Large impressive Door Knockers, Paris the Impressive Doors.

 Firts sight of the Tower in the distance.

then walking along until we got to the Notre Dame. 

 The is one of the great buildings of the world but we had planned to go inside on Friday, today was dicovery day. So we just walk passed the beauty.

  This is where we picked up the Big Bus tickets for the day. Watched people watching the Tourist's

We hooped on the bus and it then went up the south side of the turning into Concorde and heading up to the Arch de Triumph.

We hoped off here and expolred the outside of the wonder.

 The Arch de Truimph is so magnificent as it pay trubute to all the men that have been lost in war. This is a very impressive Monument.

So we decided to and decide to go up the top of the Arch. 

The climb was up some steep spiral steps. Before coming out at the floor below the roof. 

This helped us catch our breath. We then climbed the last few steps onto the roof.

 The view of Paris is impressive, the only thing sticking up are church spires and major monuments. The view was 360’ around. Jennifer fear of heights was overcome as they had lots of high points she could comfortably stand on, where she could see without being on the edge.

 Of course what gose up must climb down.
