Along the Seine

Paris in a day!
This morning I decided to visit all the landmarks along the River Seine. After a Starbucks and a catch-up with Catie in Chatelet, I started my mission for the day. 

Starting with Notre Dame on L'Ile St Louis (walking East from Chatelet), and then heading back over and across Pont Neuf to the Louvre and the all-amazing glass pyramid! :)

   
 
Through this mini arch, you can see all the way up to La Defense! (although not in the photo)

 
At the Musee D'Orsay, which had some random (but Uhh-mazing) Chanel scaffolding type 3D advertisement board. Mmmmmm Chanel <3
 
  
Place de la Concorde - in the middle of the Louvre and L'arc de Triomphe. You get a load of (fake) mutant people madly waving pens at you and telepathically asking you to sign away your inheritance in what is more politely termed as 'donation'. DON'T BE FOOLED! (They miraculously 'heal' long enough to go and bitch about you after you ignore them.)


The Grand Palais - definitely a landmark since Karl Lagerfeld hosted Paris Fashion Week's CHANEL show inside.

 

The Eiffel Tower, of course! 

 

And ending with L'Arc de Triomphe (because I can get straight on the train and feel all my muscles twitching from all the crazy walking!)

In other news, I have a wedding ring! :O Ok, so it's only a wedding ring when some creep is trying to shove his 'trouser snake' at me on the metro (don't ask!) or some lunatic wants my number. I feel pretty excited! I WORE IT ALL DAY.
