Day 71 Paris

8 July
We caught the train to the Louvre stop and got in the line at around 845, the gallery opened at 9 so it wasn't a long wait. We followed another downloaded audioguide inside the Louvre taking us around the Greek and Roman sections, Italian and French paintings including the 500 people on front of the Mona Lisa. We also walked through some of the Egyptian section on our own out of interest looking at ancient parchment, sarcophagus and a mummy. After the Louvre we walked the avenue des champs elysees to the arc de triomphe. Our walk then went down to the Seine opposite the Eiffel tower then to the musee Rodin which was unfortunately closed because it was Monday. We went to a creperie for dinner.
