Today was another BIG walk! The usual coffee (and for me a pain au
chocolat) to start and then it was a stroll down the Champs Elysees. A few “shop stops” along the way and a stop
for more refreshments and then we were at the Arc de Triomphe. Decided to walk to the top, which we had done
about 10 – 11 years ago. OMG! So many stairs …. Clearly I was ten years
younger (and fitter) when I did it last time.
Felt like I was doing a ‘stress’ test.
Anyway, made it to the top and captured the appropriate photos and a lot
easier going down. J Continued walking to the
Eiffel Tower but didn’t bother going up – huge queue as usual but they only
have one lift going and I was NOT going to walk up another stair! We strolled home, and then after a little
R&R we went to a cute little restaurant for dinner. Last day tomorrow!
