Just back from Paris. Drove all the way from Paris to Holland today, a distance of 475 km in 4.5 hours, including a short rest stop-over at the border between Belgium and Holland. The drive was quite good, being Christmas today the roads were very quiet. And so we managed to drive on cruise control most of the way.We tried to do a few things different this time as this was probably our sixth time to Paris. We stayed quite close to the Arc de Triomphe, and for the first time went up the structure to see the sunset in Paris. The climb to the top was quite something though
, a total of 284 steps in all. But at the top it was quiet a nice scenary to see as most of main streets were decorated with Christmas lightings. On one side one could see the Le Defence, the futuristic part of Paris at a distance. On the other side one could see the Ferris Wheel near the Museum De Louvre. With the sunset the temperature dropped very quickly and was quite unbearable to hang around too long.
