Day 26: Paris

Goal for the day: See Paris! We got up in the late morning and took the "local" train route back to the Eiffel Tower. There, we got on our "hop on/hop off" bus to tour the city. We went pretty much all the way around and through Paris, taking about two and a half hours (not counting the "hop off" stops) to see the major sites. It was a beautiful day for the open-top bus; not too hot, with a wonderful breeze.

We spent the afternoon doing the tour, then we had a late lunch at a street-side cafe about two blocks from the Tower. We then decided just to rest for the remainder of the day, so we took the trains back to the hotel for some work, a nap, and a late dinner at the restaurant next to the hotel.

Tomorrow we have a long drive, to the South of France: Marseilles. Below are some of the photos I took on our tour today.
