Today we went to the Louvre (we didn't go inside -very long lines, the young uninterested men with us, and the fact that my DH and myself have been before - it didn't make sense this time).
We walked around the gardens -
L'Arc de Triomphe du Carrousel
Place de la Concorde with L'Arc de Triomphe in the distance
Next we walked in a shopping district -
St Marie Madeleine on the way
In the afternoon we walked around the Marais again -
the National Archives
to the Pompidou Center (a modern art museum - once again we didn't go inside - we just wanted to see outside the building). All the pipes, elevators etc. are on the outside -
