Where the tour started
for sandemans New Paris Tour which was freeand absolutely amazing would definatly recommend it. Our tour Guide was George from Texas who was funny, knoweledgable and generally great i think i might have a man-crush.The tour went through loads of places including the musee du louvre
Just to prove i was there
, Jardin du tuileries, the obelsik
The Obelisk
etc photos to follow when i find a way/place to upload them. After the tour went up to the arc de triumph
Arc de Triumphe
which is huge and has an equally huge flags, its also the most dangerous round about in Europe and No french insurance comany covers accidents on it
(thank you George).
Then headed down Avenue Diene which had a lot of embassies on it and ended in the Jardins du Trocadoro within sight of the Eifful tower... Queued for about 20 minutes then climbed up the Southern Leg (pilier Sud)
The South Leg
up to the second level then queued again for the lift to the verz top, would have walked but all the stairs were closed. Took loads of photos
View from the top
then came back down and had extautionatly high priced drinks on the first level head all the way back down and grabbed some pizza on the way back to the hostel.Night Time Adventure
I had a brilliant idea of hiring some bikes for our trip to see the Eifful tower at night. We were a bit late after trying to figure out how the bike renting machine worked and so we perhaps didn`t observe all the rules of the road oops but then again a lot of other people were doing the same and we only almost got hit a few times. I did get some really good photos
Tower at Night
unfortunatly getting them meant we lingered a bit too long so had to rush back as well so may have bent the rules again and annoyed a few taxi drivers, got a bit lost as well which wasn`t terribly helpful but got back in time a bit nackered.
