Today we have had a busy day in the capital, packing in as many sights as we could. We started off at the Eiffel tower, and climbed the 674 steps to the second floor. Although it was hard work, we were rewarded with views across Paris as the mist lifted just in time.
We then headed back down and boarded a boat along the river Seine, which allowed us to see lots more of the famous sights such as Notre Dame cathedral, l’Assemblé Nationale (the government buildings) and l’Hôtel Dieu – the oldest hospital in Paris.
Finally, we walked along the Champs Elysées to the Louvre museum, to take a photo of the iconic pyramid.
Our last stop was the hypermarket Carrefour, where we stocked up on exotic Haribo and other French delicacies, before returning to our accommodation for dinner (including snails for the brave!), some basketball and time to chill and rest up ready for a day at Parc Astérix tomorrow.
