Looking down Champs Elysees to the Arc de TriompheWe took the metro to the Eiffel Tower to save our legs and then walked back along the Champs Elysees to the Jardin de Tuilleries with stops along the way to play and to take some photos. It was such a contrast from the cold hardness of winter to the hot sunny brightness of a summer’s day and boy it sure was hot. I remember queuing to go up the Eiffel Tower, toes numb in shoes. The kids remember kicking the slabs of ice along the footpath and walking on the frozen water in the fountains. That tickled their fancy… walking on water. Just past the Louvre Ella started looking in souvenir shops and Andrew and Samuel kept walking home while Ella and I stayed and shopped in peace.
