Footprints in Paris - Part 6

Ahhh, a stroll down the Champs-Elysees is a perfect way to see the elite of Paris but it's also the way to the Arc de Triomphe. While stopping for a cinnamon filled crepe and a beer, yes I know its a strange combination, my gf and I strolled along taking in the haute couture scene that is Paris. If you want an upscale car, handbag, scarf, suit this is the place to be. And you will probably pay and arm and a leg for water. The cinnamon crepe was enough for us before dinner.

You can't cross the street to the Arc de Triomphe but must take an escalator to an underground path. There are 284 steps and we took all of them with a brief break on a ledge. The view is awesome and worth the 284 steps and the realization that we need to get back to the gym. The sweeping skyline is a must see and the Arc itself is a testament to the people who came before us. We took the elevator back down.
