After walking through the Rodin garden we headed over to the Invalides, where the main attraction was Napoleon's Tomb. Jeff was fascinated with Napoleon and we couldn't get over the scale of the room and how massive the tomb was.
They also have a very good WWII museum on site and beautiful gardens. It was interesting to get a European perspective on the war, and to understand what happened in Paris when they were occupied.
Later in the day we went to Monmarte to walk around and visit the Sacre Coeur. Monmarte was a lot of fun - small, winding streets with lots of shops and food vendors. Did I mention how hilly it was? We stopped for some crepes before making the final climb up to Sacre Coeur. There were a ton of people all around Sacre Coeur, its got great views of the city and its a beautiful church.
The metro stop near Sacre Coeur is one of the few remaining in the original Art Nouveau style.
