Day three was an absolute whirlwind. We saw some of the biggest attractions Paris has to offer, starting off at the Fashion and Textile Museum. Again. no photos allowed, but the exhibition was made up of some amazing clothing dating from the 17th century.
We then took a short walk to the Louvre, which was awe inspiring. The regal architecture of the buildings together with the incredible glass pyramid created a rather unusual, but very welcomed sight.
Next stop, just a short walk down the Rue de Rivoli, was Angelina. Formerly the chosen hangout of the likes of Coco Chanel and Audrey Hepburn, this opulent tea house offers a vast array of luxurious treats.
We then walked across the Place de la Concorde, and took a stroll down the Champs Élysées, Paris' premium shopping street. At the end stood the Arc de Triomphe. We stayed a while to rest our feet and take lots of photos.
Once fully rested, we headed for the Eiffel Tower. Not too difficult, when the monument you're heading for stands at 324 metres high. The mere sight of the tower is extraordinary. It really does dominate the city. And, of course, we headed straight for the top.
We stayed on the tower for a good hour or so, and when we finally reached the ground, the lights were switched on and the whole tower shone. There are very few words to describe such a sight.
