We enjoyed a retour of Musee D'Orsay with a fab tour guide. We went to FNAC department store to buy the tickets ahead without the interminable line, and that part worked, a 1.60 euro fee. Unfortunately the pre-purchased line at Orsay was long and we still waited 30-45minutes. We metroed to a hike along Promenade Plante, still iffy weather, but it turned nice-ish, and we had a superb walk both below looking at the shops, none of which were really shopable. We took short detour to Rue Faubourg-St Antoine with a foolish shopping deviation. (Erin said the clothes, that were affordable, therefore exicitng, could be found in Forever 21, nay), another metro to Tour Eiffel, but the climb-up line was too long for Mom and Erin and I decided that she would do it with Sam if not Tony. We did chance upon Paris summer festival and spoke with some ladies from Marseille, who were drenched in brown tanned skin. Their vocation is savon concoction, and we picked out a nice sample as gifts for Erin's friends. Mom and I found some for us too. Erin and I found some funky bracelets 2/10 euro. We traversed the Seine to view the Tour Eiffel from Trocadero, and then a hike home with pit stop at a brasserie for a wine and cheese plate.
We had found lunch in a divey luncheonette, but at 5 euro for croque msr it was a steal!!
