Early Tuesday morning we caught the high speed train to Paris (6 hours) which was a great way to see the country side yet still arrive in Paris for lunch. We went for lunch and then walked down towards the Louvre and then up the Champs Elysees. It was a beautiful sunny few days and it was great to feel so warm so much so that Malcolm was very pleased with his new trousers:
The next day Louise and Ian went on a city tour, up the Eiffel Tower and a cruise on the Seine. We wandered through the streets of Paris to go to the Musee d'Orsay but the queues were too long and we were enjoying walking around, next time... We walked through down towards Les Invalides where Malcolm and Ian were visiting later in the week. Les Invalides was an old hospital which is now a military museum and also has Napolean's tomb.
In the afternoon we went to Sacre Coeur where Malcolm got to climb to the top and then walked down through Montmartre towards the seedier area where the Moulin Rouge is. We went for a drink and then caught up with Louise and Ian for dinner.
