We started out the day riding to the Effiel Tower and then biked over to the Arc De Triomphe and climbed to the top. We followed that with lunch and walking down the Champs Elysees. Then we headed over to Pere Lachaise cemetery and saw some some graves. Finally after a great dinner we headed back over to the Effiel Tower and sat out in front of the tower and relaxed. We are starting to get tired.
