Day 2 - L'Arc de Triomphe
On our second day we decided to walk the l'Arc de Triomphe via the Louvre. The morning was sunny at first, but rain came as we reached the famous landmark. Getting to the top of l'Arc de Triomphe made us appreciate the great American Elisha Graves Otis, inventor of the elevator. The walk to the observation deck is 284 steps--15 stories. While the view is worth it, there were moments when I wondered if it would be that worth it! We continued walking and sight-seeing throughout the afternoon, marveling at what a beautiful city Paris is. |
