Day 24 - Champs-Elysees and Arc De Triomphe






We got a slow start today.  We took the bus to the Champs-Elysees and lazily walked along it.  We didn't get far when the Renault store caught Jackson's eyes so we stopped in for a look.  Jackson watched a video on new technology about the front window of a car.  Gracie decided we needed to eat at the restaurant so we did.  It was the most relaxing meal with the kids.  The maitre d' actually spoke to the children and made them feel very welcome.  Immediately the kids were given color pencils, a booklet with activities and erasures.  I couldn't believe it when I saw 3 choices on the kids "enfants" menu.  After spending a good 2 hours, we headed to the Arc De Triomphe.  The kids decided they have climbed enough steps on this trip so we just enjoyed sitting underneath it and watching the traffic.  It is a very busy intersession.  There is lots of entertainment for everyone.  Later, we had the goodbye dinner with the UD students.  Nana, Papa and Bill Schoelwer joined us.  We practically took every table in the place.  It was a very good meal.
