Paris Day 3 Part 3

Last stop on the Paris walkabout was the Arc de Triomphe, even tough our feet were aching like hell, we MUST make this attraction to make the Museum Pass value!! The pass was 32€ for 2 days and you can go to as many attractions as you can.

So the more attractions you visit, the more value the pass gives you right? So that's why must make this last visit la.

the rain clouds begin to clear the way for blue skies

if you see closely, the red circle is where we were when we took the photo, after the gruelling spiral staircases

and then more stairs

finally reached the top, check out the face, almost white from all the climbing of stairs

Another arch in the distance, La Grande Arche de La Défense. Didn't get to go there coz our metro (subway) pass didn't allow us into that zone without paying extra

Eiffel Tower

if you look closely at the top right, you can see Basilique du Sacré-Cœur

all roads lead to Arc de Triomphe

we were there!! just so that you know the pictures were not 'borrowed' from the Internet

then it was time to 'sortie' so that we can make our way to catch our train back to London

love the rays of light through the dark clouds

not so nice if it was not HDR-ed right?

the loooooooong way down. Seriously, can get dizzy man!!

284 steps!!

The Arc de Triomphe

the dark clouds finally gave way....

for us to have our french McValue meal on the sidewalks watching people pass by

And finally, any girl's mecca, the flagship Louis Vuitton store!! I heard somewhere that you should never carry a counterfeit LV bag in France, as the police there are allowed to check your bags to see if it's a genuine LV bag or not!! can get fined if it's a fake!! dunno how true is that.

can only sit outside and sulk coz it's still so ex!! even tough there's like so many Asians inside buying purses and bags like buying fish from a high class market!!

And that ends the Paris trip. Went back to the hotel to get our bags and off to the train station to get home to London. The Eurostar train only takes 2 hours to get from London to Paris.

our magenta hotel, we would recommend it to travellers to Paris, cheap & clean

back home......temporarily...
