We started at 10.30 (very respectable) and went to the Grande Arche - La Defense. This building is spectacular and it has a square archway so large you could fit the Arc De Triomphe inside. Out the front there was [another] Village Noel. We had a photo with 'Sinterklaus'(he looked lonely) and a big snowman, and then had a lovely pumpkin soup lunch.
After we caught the 2 trains all the way back to Notre-Dame and the girls were fascinated by the Gothic appearance inside the cathedral and all the beautiful stained glass windows, although we made a quick exit when they started their Sunday arvo Mass. Outside we admired the cute gargoyles and the flying buttresses, and we stood on Paris 'point zero'.
In the last couple of hours we went to the Arc De Triomphe and have walked part of the way down the Champs Elysees - until our hunger pangs kicked in and had to have dinner. The girls were once again knocked out of their sox at the A.D.T. We did a puzzle of it last year and have been waiting to see it up close ever since. It didn't disappoint, and the Champs Elysees is all lit up with white trees for Crutzmach.
Check out our pics from today. We're leaving the restaurant now (not that ex'y), and we're going to window shop for a few minutes in the zero weather until we can no longer bear it (i.e. Hannah) and we'll get back on the metro to go back to our ap't on the Rue Champ de Mars.
Have to write more later about the last few days too... (and Hannah's bday yesterday)
Love PRTGEH
