We slept in a little late – Paula and Martin attended Mass at Notre Dame and we agreed to meet them outside Notre Dame at 11:00 AM.
The beautiful facade of Notre Dame
We stood on the wall surrounding the gardens so they could easily locate us in the throng. Blue skies and warmer weather were a welcome addition to tourist activities planned for the day. We headed over to Ile-St-Louis, across the Seine, and northward to the Marais. First stop was falafels before the crowds descended …..

After our shopping spree in the Marais, we headed for Trocadero to get a great view of the Eiffel Tower on a bright day….
 The Eiffel Tower from Trocadero — blue, blue skies are very welcome! |
 What a backdrop! |
l’arc de Triomphe – WOW!
On our walk from Trocadero to the Champs Elysees, we found this fabulous window/door configuration
Classy door configuration
Along the Champs Elysees, we found this sign to remind us of Morgan, our sweet dog back in Richmond
Along the Champs Elysees we stopped in a few shops and boutiques, including a Porsche showroom and a Mercedes showroom. Â Beautiful cars! Â Back in the less expensive part of Paris, closer to our apartment, we settled on dinner at a local restaurant and enjoyed a quiet evening watching Martin and Paula pack…..after a 6 mile day on the tourist trail….
