Arc de Triomphe, Orsay Museum, and Montmarte

Today (July 7, 2016) we saw the Arc de Triomphe and walked down the Champs-Elysees. The Arc was really cool and it was neat to see the view of the Champs-Elysees from above.

The Champs-Elysees itself was not all that impressive, just a bunch of stores we couldn't afford. But the macaroons at Laudaree were excellent. From there we had lunch and then went to the Orsay Museum. The art was really impressive, but Sue and I both felt like there was so much that it was almost overwhelming. In retrospect, we probably shouldn't have tried to see everything in one shot. From there it was on to a walking tour of Montmarte and a really great dinner at Hotel Particuliar, a spot so secluded that you would never no it was there if you didn't know it was there.
