We have been a weekend in Paris and we tried to see as much as possible in the short time, so it has been a lot of walking. This is the road map we followed on day two:

We started at the Eiffel Tower again this day and the queue was as long as the day so we decided again to try next day and even earlier. We took the Metro/Train to the Montmartre area and did some walking there.

This map is approximate the way we walked and we started the day with a 2 km long route.

When we came up from the Metro the Moulin Rouge was just ahead of us. And we started to walk up the Rue Lepic.

We went past a botcher.

And a cheese store.

And the famous area with all the painters.

And up to the Sacré Coeur.

Walking part 2.
We took the Metro to the Arc de Triomphe and started walking down the Champs-Elysees.


As you can see we have walked a bit.

And there still is a long way too go.

Finally at the Louvre and the queue was reasonable so we went inside.

And of course we did some walking inside the world’s largest museum.

I am really glad we did got too see the famous Mona Lisa.

And we sow an African exhibition.
Totally we did walk about 8-10 km the second day. After the Louvre visit we went back to the hotel and relaxed the rest of the day.

I’ll have to visit again – brings back memories of the Eiffel tower and Arc de Triomphe and the art reminds me of visitng Cannes where they made paintings using oils on black velvet. The effect was spectacular luminous images – very unique.
