Day 54 ooh la la in Paris.

Hi

I know this is obvious but what an amazing city.

We were well organised and were out of the door to get to the Eiffel Tower. We were at the south gate at 8.45 as the photo will show to walk up to the second floor and then get the lift to the top. Alas the younger members of the party( all three) jibbed out and wanted to get the lift all the way. I succumbed to peer pressure and decided to follow suit. We were at the summit by 10am and had great views of the city it was amazing. Thank you Gustav Eiffel it was awesome being 280 meters above the ground.

We then took a open top Bus ride courtesy of the Paris card. We had a great half tour of the city picking up he majority of the must sees. We got dropped off at Opera and walked the remaining distance to the Grevin Museum Paris' equivalent to Madame Tussauds to catch up with some waxwork friends!!

Then we went into the church itself

Then after subway for the kids we got back on the red bus and toured around the Champs élysées and Arc de Triomphe.
