Champs Elysées


We took the métro to the Champs Elysées. Starting with the Arc de Triomphe in the bright morning sun, we enjoyed strolling this famous boulevard, stopping for coffee and various shops including the Peugeot centre, the Virgin Megastore and the Sephora perfume store. By the time we reached Tuilerie Gardens, it was time for lunch and the salmon was delicious!.

On to the Luxemborg Gardens, the grounds of the Louvre, then to the métro from Palais Royale back to St. Michel, then headed for L'église à St. Louis-en-l'Île for the 1700hrs concert featuring music from the time of Buxtehude - the Aubertin organ being featured along with four vocalists and and ensemble of period instruments.

The Seine is flowing fast and looking muddy as the Spring melt gushes to the sea, so some of the walks very near the waterline aare flooded.

We dined at another restaurant on l'Île, Les Fous being closed on Sunday and Monday.
