We hopped on the Metro from Goeblins (after wandering around trying to find an 83 bus). We hopped off near the Petite Palais, not terribly far from the Champs-Elysees. We walked past the Palais, toward the dome of Les Invalides. We were searching for the big tourist boats or Bateaux-Mouches to take a tour down the Seine. A nice way to introduce ourselves to the city, and not wreak ourselves after our very long flights. Our hotel, La Manufacture, sold us tickets, so we could skip the line!
We found a spot in the shade of the boat, after stopping to buy water from the little shop, and got ready to start snapping.
You can make out the base of the Eiffel Tower behind us! This was the first of our many attempts to snap a pic of us near the Tower.
After our hours in the sun, we drifted back to the hotel and promptly fell asleep, not waking until nearly 10pm - after most restaurants had closed. Oops. Luckily, there was a kick butt sandwich place near the hotel that was open until midnight! Spicy chutney chicken sandwiches for two please!
