Another Eifel Tower Perspective

Our original plan today was to drive to the coast but Afran has a terrible chest cold and we felt that it was better to keep her at home and delay the trip.


This afternoon Philippe, Roger and I drove to the Seine where we planned to board a boat to cruise down the river and hear the history of Paris.  Plans changed when we discovered that there were thousands of people with the same idea.  Sidewalks were a mass of people, some even walking in the streets.  Parking was impossible so we decided that the Sunday between Christmas and New Years was not a good time to take the tour.

The Eifel Tower is only about two blocks away so Philippe drove around the area so I could take photos from three different directions.  It was a good opportunity to see how dramatically different a night and a day photo can be.

We took a driving tour of the St Germain area so now I have two days planned; one to shop at Montmartre and another to walk through St Germain.  This time I'll take the Metro so parking won't be an issue.
