Today was a casual sightseeing day. For most of the day, Heidi and I walked around to see some of the city. We started out with a walk on Ile de la Cite where we came across a ticket sale for Vivaldi's Four Seasons being performed tonight at Sainte-Chapelle. Decided to buy tickets for that. Had breakfast at a nearby cafe, which consisted of two coffees and two crepes for the amazing bargain of $32. Continued walking through Ile St Louis, along Rue Rivoli, through the Tuileries and along the Champs-Elysees to Arc de Triomphe. Then back to the apartment on the Metro to change clothes for the concert. While standing in the long line to get into the Chapel, the funniest thing was the large number of tourists envious of the tickets we had in our hands - the concert was sold out and many people were still looking to buy. The concert was great, and the chapel was incredible.
Notre Dame from this morning.

Mike,
ReplyDeleteWow, sounds absolutely great. Vivaldi concert would have been really nice. Hehe, sounds like our first day in Paris as well, lots of walking. Exhausted by the end of the day.
