Yesterday, the group conquered the Eiffel Tower... by foot! (Well, only to the 2nd floor because the real summit was closed).

Once all recovered down below, we split into two groups, one led by Ms. Davis to tackle the Louvre, Opéra Garnier and Gare St. Lazare while Ms. Albérola led kids through the eastern part of the city, taking in the Jardin des Plantes, an artisinal market and a nice bistrot lunch. The group reunited for a night stroll through the central St. Michel neighborhood.

Today we're off to Versailles, but we'll have to be sure to have our umbrellas handy.
