Day 3 started at th Louvre. We walked around the beautiful museum grounds and the Tuileries before heading into the museum.
Inside the museum, we visited the "must see" exhibits.
We could only get about 20 feet away from the Mona Lisa, and even then I had to hold the camera up over my head to get a photo.
Later that evening, we visited the Arc de Triomph, one of my favorite things we did. We planned to go in the evening to watch the sunset and see the Eiffel Tower lights go on. What we didn't realize when we headed out about 8:30pm, is that the sun doesn't set until very late - it was nearly 10pm before the sun dipped down. But that was ok, we enjoyed hanging out on top of the Arc.
After we came back down from the Arc, Jeff was standing on one of the uplights that lit the Arc in the evening.
As we walked home down the Champs-Elysee, we crossed the Seine on the Pont Alexandre III bridge, and I took what has to be my favorite photo from our trip, this view of the Eiffel Tower.
