Day 9 Paris

Bonjour Mesdames, bonjour messieurs. We started today with a trip to The Eiffel Tower!!! It was a massive monument and a lot larger than many expected. We too the lifts up to the top platform and go the most amazing views of the city of Paris. It was absolutely phenomenal.

From The Eiffel Tower, we took a train to the most famous round about in the world, the Arc de Triomphe. After checking that out we took a stroll all the way down Champs-Élysées, before catching another train to Montmartre.

We explored the Montmartre area where we saw the Sacré-Cœur Basilica and ventured through Place du Tertre for lunch, while some of us got caricatures done.

Our last stop was Forum des Halles for another round of shopping and exploring, before heading home for dinner and some much needed rest. It was another full-on, exciting day of adventure for the group. We are definitely getting better at the basics of French and a lot of us tried out all the French we could on the local retailers, who were generally very polite in return.
