Ile de la Cité

Arriving at Charles De Gaulle Airport after an hour and 20 'travel we reached baggage claim and we HOTEL Hotel Quality Opera Saint Lazare. It took almost more time than flying to get here, after all we had to take the shuttle from Terminal 3 to Terminal 1, then the train and then the subway to the train station in Europe, but then with the media has always been easy to reach every place we wanted to visit. Once you have placed the luggage we have achieved the first goal: at noon we were at Notre Dame.

Louvre

This morning we have moved more quickly to avoid the queue at the Louvre yesterday, in fact, coming to about 9.00 we went after 10 minutes. This museum is huge, it is impossible to see everything, then as we get ready to house the list of things that interest you and then with the map you can easily visit them. We started with the Italian paintings, which unfortunately are all just to see the Mona Lisa without even noticing the switch in front of many other paintings of great value ... it takes patience ... Later we visited the sculptures, particularly Cupid and Psyche, the Victory of Samothrace and Venus de Milo. Finally we could not see the Etruscan, the Egyptian and Mesopotamian. After 4 hours we left, we took a good baguette in a nearby takeaway and then we toured the gardens of the Royal Palace, overlooking the courtyard with the famous black and white columns of various heights. From there we headed to the Champs Elysées, first through all the gardens from the Louvre to the obelisk, the Orangerie Museum in the town where we admired the lilies of Monet, and finally altered the Arc de Triomphe. Obviously we did not miss a trip to the shops, then we headed to the metro district of St Germain de Pres where we visited the church, some stalls and shops, walk to the Latin Quarter. After dinner we went to the Pont Neuf, the oldest bridge in Paris, located on the tip of the Ile de la Cité, and here we took the boat and we enjoyed the ride on the Seine in the evening, spectacular and very romantic . Finally back to the hotel, this time a little 'later than usual but it was worth it.
