Yesterday was a full day in Paris and I did not get back to the apartment until after 11:00. I was able to fit in several must see places yesterday with the help of the Metro. However, even using the metro I walked 9.21 miles. I was able to see the Moulin Rouge area – racy stores and questionable people hanging out trying to lure tourists into shell games. That was until the police came riding through the street on their bikes. I’ve never seen people and games disappear so fast, they obviously had a lookout because by the time the police rode by there was nothing and no one to see.
Went to Montmartre area and toured the Sacre Coeur Cathedral – absolutely beautiful and walked the steps from the road to the entrance instead of taking the gondola. Visited several shops and stopped by several artists’ booths while in Montmarte and had a great lunch. Chef salad French style which was thinly sliced and cooked garlic potatoes, chicken, Caesar dressing, black olives, romaine lettuce, hard boiled egg, cheese and tomatoes. Then toured the Opera National de Paris – stunning. I finished the final full day in style with Arc de Triomphe Etoile, Avenue des Champs Elysees, and the Eiffel Tower in early evening and then at night with the light show. I am now at the train station waiting for my Eurostar to London.
Total miles walked in Paris 81.88 miles. Total miles walked in New York 22.65 miles.
