Heading back down the Champs Elysees
|
Stopping to admire the seats set up to watch le Tour. (Stupidly thinking we might be able to sit in them.)
|
Place de la Concorde. We actually watched Le Tour not far from here.
|
Route of Le Tour through Paris
|
Sculptures of hands in Tuileries. I love these sculptures and make everyone take a picture with them.
|
Relaxing in Tuileries after a long walk
|
Julie showing the scar which caused the swollen ankles. I am cold and heartless and took no pity on her.
|
Walking though Tuileries to the Louvre. This is looking back toward the Arc de Triomphe.
|
Kelsey enjoying Tuileries
|
Approaching Napoleon's Arch which is leads us to the Louvre.

Leaving Tuileries

Guy dressed as a mummy. Public art, gotta love it.

Checking out the artists near the Louvre.

Sisters, sisters, there were never such devoted sisters...

Ah, the Louvre

Don't know what we were going for here.
