Paris part 2

 The Lourve, one of the world's largest museums

Its entry comes with a price of 10 euros per person

There are 3 wings (sections) namely, Denon, Sully, and Richelieu. Do your homework online on what to see before you come here *to save time. You can also get a leaftlet from the information desk to guide you.



 The tiny miny pic of Mona Lisa


 Don't forget to look up


 Venus de Milo



 Souvenirs 


The inverted pyramid


 Don't forget to stand up high enough to capture the Lourve





 Sunset view



*oops

Obelisk
(an Egyptian gift to the French)

Obelisk in the Place de la Concorde


3 of us (my mom, my bro and I) walked from the Lourve until here, Champs Elysees area. If you don't know how far is the distance, get a Paris map online and you will know *it is very far

 Arc de Triomphe

Try walking 3 or 4 streets behind this building to reach Avenue de Wagram and you will find a treasure...

...to fill your stomach at this restaurant, Monte Carlo (located between Quality Burger and McD)

The food is highly recommended *thumbs up for its taste and price. Only 10,80 euro for one Entree ou Dessert (Starter or Dessert), one Plat Chaud (main) and one Boisson (drink). If you want both starter and dessert, you can choose 12,50 euro set. Mind you, the portion is very big. 

We bought some macaroons from Pierre Herme to try. Taste heavenly. You can buy it near the Arc de Triomphe. Look out for Publicis drugstore and enter the building. *online reviews said this taste much better than the famous Laduree
