The first view of the Eiffel Tower
On arrival on 9 June 2013, we were taken to a guided city tour of Paris. On the coach, we drove to see Arc De Triomphe, Place de La Concorde, Garnier Opera House, Champs Elysees, La Invalides and Lourve Museum. Guess what - our guide, Henry arranged for us to visit Lourve Museum for our optional trip. I have always wanted to visit the place, hence my wish came true. Being a sunday, the shops were closed.
