Sunday 23rd September
We head off to Paris, leaving Brussels and their Iguanodon’s firmly behind.
Wednesday 26th September
We venture into Paris. One of the first things we noticed about Paris when looking in the guidebooks is that there is so much to see here, it’s difficult to know where to start or what to miss out. We start our journey at the Arc de Triomphe, a nice tie in to the visit to Waterloo. After marvelling at this we moved onto the Eiffel Tower, you can climb the Arc de Triomphe but as we were visiting three structures with aerial views we decided to restrict ourselves to going atop the Eiffel Tower. So next stop Eiffel Tower, we get off at the Trocadero Metro stop and walk through the Trocadero gardens to get a fabulous view of the metal structure. The top level was closed so we only made it as far as the 2nd level, at 115 meters there are still far reaching views of Paris, including Notre Dame, the Arc de Triomphe and other great attractions. After this we stopped off at Notre Dame and enjoyed a rather bizarre folded over Pizza.
