This was our last official touring day. Did I mention we were greeted with rain, lighting and thunder on Friday? Good thing it started as we got off the bus and stopped after a brief down pour. Unfortunately it was the forecast for our last day. The good news was that our guided tour was sight seeing from the bus along the elegant boulevards to see the Notre Dame Cathedral, Louvre building and the Opera House. We drove from the Place de la Concorde along the Champs Elysees to the Arc de Triomphe. We took a survey of the city from the heights of the Eiffel Tower (second level) which was built for the World's Exhibition of 1889. We took a guided tour of the Louvre and saw some of its most famous art. Perhaps you can identify the famous lady in the picture. We will definitely have to return during the winter because the crowds were excessive. In the evening we took in a dinner show at a cabaret. Before we turned in for the night, we took a stroll out to take one last picture of the Eiffel Tower. It was the perfect ending to our European vacation.
