The first day. (Saturday, 9th)


I'm not sure if anyone knows (I wouldn't know how anyone should know), but I really do like walking around in cities without any plan or destination. So I just started walking that day and the first major attraction that popped up was "Les Halles" and a church ("St. Eustache"?) and a nice pedestrian precinct.








After that I followed some random streets and you know what: I found the Louvre. I hadn't been there ever before -- and I was actually impressed.


I walked along the Champs Elysées after that and I found that street a little long and way too crowded. (I was also getting tired.) Heaving reached l'Arc de Triomphe, I decided that walking to the Eiffel Tower would be too much, so I took the Métro.
Well, and la Tour Eiffel had some kind of Europe theme -- I already posted a picture.
It was a nice day. And, admittedly, I was proud to be able to walk that long. Walking is great.
