Messing on the Champs

After our trip throught the netherworld, Mike and I went off to the Champs Elysees to climb the Arc de Triumphe and cruise around for a bit.
Someone very nicely pointed out the stairs underneath the street that took us to the cirle so that we didn't have to risk life and limb running through Paris traffic like we saw some doing.

When we arrived we had to pay our fee (of course) and then climb all of these lovely stairs to reach the top. I forget to count, so I don't know how this compares to climbing to the top of St. Peter's Basilica.

Once we arrived, we had a beautiful 360 degree of the streets of Paris. And we could easily see the Eiffel Tower, too.

Back down below, Mike darted out into traffic to take this picture of the Arc all lit up.

We didn't spend too much time wandering along the Champs, but we did duck into Virgin Mega store and into Sephora. DIdn't buy anything. It all really wasn't our scene.
