Okay, so we took a long long walk all the way down the Champs Elysees to the Place de la Concorde (where they set up a giant ferris wheel, but it wasnt yet working!) Then we walked a little way more before stopping for a quick dinner - I had some quiche. Then we headed into the front of the Louvre, saw the famous Pyramid (it is pretty cool!) and walked around the outside of some of the buildings. It is seriously huge, i can see why it could take someone a week to see everything! We even saw some sculptures through some giant windows, which was pretty cool. Aftr walking around there a while; also seeing the Palais Royal; we jumped back on the metro and back to Gare de Lyon.
Here we waited a little while for our train (the station is really cool, one huge room has one wall completely a mural of monuments and buildings of France, and there is a restuarant that was also spectacular (we just went through the doors for a look)) The train ride back felt long, but mostly Emma and I (after eating our pain au chocolat) slept. We arrived back in Montpellier at midnight (there were still people around which i thought was funny) and walked back home. They were spraying fake snow onto the giant christmas tree in Montpellier.
Okay so thats it about Paris, sorry if its a bit brief, check out Emmas blog for anything i have forgotten. (Im sure shell let me know!) Overall it was an awesome day; we saw a lot but still i could easily spend weeks and weeks there - meaning we will have to return in the nearish future!!
