So ... we got as far as the Petit Palais and the Grand Palais. After that, we walked across the Pont (bridge) Alexandre III -- reputedly the prettiest bridge in Paris.
On the other side of the River Seine is the area called Invalides. The Hôtel des Invalides was built in the 1600s by Louis XIV for wounded soldiers -- and for Louis' own glorification!
Under the golden dome is the tomb of Napoleon Bonaparte.
Just over the road, if you pop your head over the fence, what do you think you'll see?
Daryl knocking on the Gates of Hell ( ... but he couldn't get in ... too virtuous!)
Now let me think about that!
