PARIS: Day 2- Part 2

Day 2- Part 2:  November 1st
 
 
After the morning at Notre Dame, we headed out for lunch.  As usual, the boys were given some delicious dessert after their lunch.   Later, we walked down the Seine, stopping by the Louvre & Tuileries Gardens.  We, also, discovered Champs Elysees and caught a picture at the Arc de Triomphe before heading to get a crepe. 
 
 
 
Ready for lunch! 
 
 

 
Dessert!!   It made up for not trick or treating! 
 
 
 
 
 
River Seine
 
 
 

 
 Sainte Chapelle and the Conciergerie
(didn't make it inside this building---maybe next time!)
 
 

 
My sweetie!
 
 
 
 
 
Glimpse of the pyramide du Louvre
designed by I.M. Pei
 
 
 

 
You enter the museum through the glass pyramid.
 
 
 
The Louvre (more on Day 3)
 
 

 
 

 
 
 
 
 
Brotherly love!
 
 

 
C&A waiting patiently to get on the carrousel in Tuileries Gardens.
 
 

 
We had to reward them with some carrousel and
playground time for doing so well at all the museums!
 
 
 
 
Arc de Triomphe
-built by Napoleon to celebrate his victory at Austerlitz
-took 30 years to complete (and Napoleon was not alive to see it complete)
 
 
 
 
It is 164 feet high.
 

 
Who would disagree?


 
No, Colin is not sleeping on his crepe. 
He is my son who smells his food before trying it!  :)
 

 
 
Bet you can guess who ordered this crepe!!
 
 
 
 
Best Buds!
