To end our trip we went right back where we started our journey from. Paris!!!! I have been to Paris before, so I was the tour guide for this leg of our trip.  D had never been and therefore we took the BATOBUS tour along the Seine. It is a great way to experience Paris as you are able to see everything from the water and you are able to hop on and hop off the boat at all the major attractions.   We walked through a greater part of the city.  We went to the top of the Eiffel Tower, as well as the Arc de Triomphe. From there we walked along the Champs Elysees stopping in places like Sephora, Zara etc.  From there we went to the Place de Concorde and walked all the way to the Louvre stopping in more shops along the way. It was a long day but we had a great time seeing the sights and enjoying spring in Paris.  I definitely think that going to Paris is a good idea if you go earlier rather than later in the spring and especially in the summer when there are too many tourists and people become less friendly.  Also it is a great courtesy if you try to speak at least a little French to the locals as theywwill be more inclined to help you if they see you trying.
