Walking around Paris

We got up nice and early today to make sure we made it to the Louvre so it wasn't so busy. We started by getting on a train and making our way as fast as we could to the Louvre. When we got there it was not yet open, which was exactly what we were looking for. When, after waiting like 10 minutes, they opend the gate, and in flooded hundreds of people. First we made our way to the Mona Lisa, and of course we took the long way. When we finally were there it was really busy. 
Side note: I got this picture but when Dad tried to get a picture like this he was told he could only point his camera toward the Mona Lisa not toward the crowd. Weird right?
 We walked though some more of the Louvre then headed out, for it was starting to get very busy. This picture is of the main entrance to the Louvre. 
Next we were off to find lunch, we walked around for a little in the Latin quarter, then found a small restaurant that sold gyros, they were amazing. Then we walked around for about 20 more minutes then off to get a crepe.
Next we went to Saint Chappell, it was very beautiful.  This curch was said to house the crown of thorns. A lot of money went into housing "the crown," although they don't keep it out for anyone to see. Only the high priest and the King. 
This was Saint Chappell.
Next we went to the Arc de Triumph, it was a very beautiful sight.
In this picture you can see the Eiffle tower from the top of the Arc.
These are the stairs to go up to the top.
