After Montmartre, we took the Metro down to the Arc de Triomphe. As it was rush hour, I was excited to see the mess of traffic around the Arc, as 13 streets or so flow into the traffic circle. I was upset to see that it was not the chaos that I expected, but somewhat civilized.
Then we spent our Friday evening touring around the Louvre. Attractions such as the Mona Lisa, Venus de Milo, an Egyptian Mummy and the Crown Jewels were highlights. Also, there was an old castle discovered underneath the Louvre and it has been excavated in the Louvre basement. There are so many exhibits here that it is impossible to see everything in a day. I enjoyed the actual building itself, as it is an impressive structure with very ornate interiors. *Stub
