Today our last day in Paris we headed off to see the Arc De Triumphe and Champs Elycee and the weather held out for us and we actually had some sunshine! We caught the Metro there - great transport and very clean and so often - and when we got to the Arc De Triumphe we decided to go to the top - 284 steps - the calves were screaming by the end of the climb but the view was worth it. Even though Paris is very expensive, we have found the tickets for things very reasonable and most of the time children are free. After climbing back down the 284 steps we went for a walk down the Champs Elycee and ventured into some of the shops. Alot of car showrooms and this why Tim is in the Formula 1 simulator ride as this was in the Toyota showroom. From here we thought on the way home we would have a look at Notre Dame and every one was a bit tired and not real keen but when we got in there everyone was amazed at how beautiful it is. Went back to the hotel from there only 2 stops away in Bastille and Tim and I went out for dinner down the road and the kids stayed home and we bought them back dinner. We are being picked up at 8am tomorrow morning to go to the airport for our flight to London. Weather is looking good for us so cross fingers!
