The queue
The view from the top floor straight down
Next destination for the first day, also another famed monument of Paris, the Arc de Triomphe. This arch serves as a monument to honour those who fought for France in the Napoleonic War. Also, underneath the arch, is a tomb of an unknown soldier from World War 1. To me, the amazing thing is that, several roads radiates from this arch that stretches several kilometres long.
Next, we had a walk at the nearby prestigious street, the Avenue des Champs-Élysées , where everything pricey to luxury is displayed. Chanel, LV, Gucci, Prada, Mercedez Benz, Massimo Dutti...any of the big brands of the world, you can find here. Seeing we're unable to purchase anything, we just have a look from the outside of the shops.
From there, we headed on to another famous destination. Lourve Museum. I think lady luck went to sleep...because, the ticketing counters closed when we went in, rendering us stuck on the entrance hall, not the exhibition halls. So we just proceeded to take some pictures of the inverted glass pyramid in the museum, which I like very much.
Last destination, is the Notre Dame. Famous for? I don't know. All I know is, the Disney's movie, Notre Dame is based on this cathedral. We didn't go in because, every cathedral looks the same in Europe, no matter how famous it is. So we decided that, we will skip this one. But at least we took a picture of it on the outside =)
After a whole day of walking around, we were tired beyond measure. So we turned in early, skipping the night views of Paris city, and headed towards our beloved hostel, and most of all, the soft comfy bed.
Then...there's the next day...which, is even more exciting...on the next post...
