Elisabeth and Kate enjoyed climbing all 284 steps to the top of the Arc De Triomphe. They each bought a commemorative Arc de Triomphe coin with their allowance money. Unfortunately, Kate's coin ended up in the public toilet at the top of the Arc. I didn't fish that one out. We bought her another one. After touring the triumphal arch, we visited the tomb of the unknown soldier and the eternal flame below.
We walked down the Champs Elysees and enjoyed lunch at Paul. An American friend in Brussels recommended Paul as a French fast food alternative to McDonald's. Paul was delightful and we especially enjoyed their chocolate chaud and their croque monsieur.
After lunch we continued to walk down the Champs Elysees toward the Louvre. But, around 2pm the girls were exhausted. So, we crossed the bridge toward Invalides and headed back to the apartment. Elisabeth and Kate watched a My Little Pony video in the afternoon. After the video we explored the neighborhood and we walked to the Eiffel Tower. Elisabeth and Kate enjoyed riding the merry-go-round across the street from the Eiffel Tower several times before eating dinner at a local restaurant (spaghetti Bolognese for Kate, hamburger and frites for Elisabeth) and going to sleep.
