Here's a quick and dirty video pieced together from Saturday's adventures.
We started the morning out early and got to the Louvre 30 min before it opened. There was already a line forming outside the glass pyramid for those who didn't have their museum passes. Such a great idea to get those ahead of time. We buzzed right to the front of the line.

So many amazing things to see and not enough time nor energy. We wandered through the Sully and Dennon wings and saw most of the important stuff including the Mona Lisa and Winged Vicory. We had lunch the nice cafe in the Louvre overlooking the glass pyramid and caught a few more sights on the way down and out.

We then walked over 2 miles to the Arc de Tromphe but used our museum passes to hitch a ride up the elevator to the top instead of walking :). Another good tip!

After the Arc we went back to the hotel to rest for a bit before heading out again to find our dinner cruise along the river Seine. It was a beautiful experience even if I did feel a bit queasy for the first hour or so. The city is so lit up and the Eiffel Tower goes into disco mode. Its quite hilarious.
The obligatory shot of us by the Eiffel all lit up:

I'm a day behind so we'll see how much I get documented tomorrow.
