We came out of the metro at Blanche Station, ready to find our hotel. It was *very* cold.
Where we stayed, there were cats. French Cats.
We immediately walked the 3 miles to see the Arc…
(Great view from the top!)
And the Obelisk that marks the place where Marie was beheaded.
And to walk the Champs Elysees.
The Moulin Rouge was on the way back.

(This one is also sitting in my office.)

I must confess the catacombs freaked me out. You enter via a very long, very narrow underground tunnel, and you reach a labyrinth of old bones. It mostly smelled of dirt. Here are a few pictures.
