We viewed things,
then we visited places 
then crashed.
However it never got dark and before long breakfast called. We strode through the picturesque streets until at last we found it
Today though was a day full of shopping, there were streets and streets and what place to shop but in the Gallerie LaFayette of course with it's
Fantastically guilded and domed extravagance.
But eventually all this shopping thirst was sated and off we went again past the Opera
And eventually to the Louvre. They wouldn't let me go in, fearing I wouldn't re-appear till Sunday so I had to just look longingly at the way in Pyramid
and then off to look for lunch. Eventually we found a great stand in the Gardens De Tulieries and devoured our lunch
After more moseying we finally took the Metro
And went to the other side of town for guess what!No not the biggest Gazebo in the world, but yes the Tour de Eiffel. Now it was Friday in holiday time so we were not persistent enough for a wait in the 200m queue to spend an arm and leg to go up it. We just looked. Instead we took Jemma's idea of a boat trip up the Seine cos they were parked right adjacent and off we went for a pleasant afternoon ride.
After our delightful cruise and taking in all the spectacular bridges and buildings on the way it was over the bridge to the Trocadero where surprise, there was numbers of cafes
After gorging ourselves for a while, and Nic is holding up the most beautiful fruit and chocolate morsel it was on to the Metro again for a trip to the Arc De Triomphe, Viz
Now this is at the end of the Champs Elysees so off we sauntered until realising it is a huge shopping mall, and what shops!
and this
Even more stuff follos in the next instalment!!!
