We crossed the Pont d'Arcole and back onto the Ile de la Cite, for another run at Notre-Dame Cathedral. The day was brisk, and a few clever vendors were offering up hot wine....oui, merci! If nothing else, poor Jane could warm up her frozen crutch hands.
After walking back to the hotel and enjoying a great lunch a few blocks to the north, we decided to take advantage of our Batobus pass and take the water taxi back to the Eiffel Tower later in the day, in the hopes of sticking around for some nightlife. After walking through the Louvre again, we caught the Batobus and spent a few hours walking around the base of the Tower and waiting for the encroaching darkness.
After admiring La Tour Eiffel in all her illuminated glory, we caught the Batobus back as far as the Alexandre III bridge, electing to walk back to the hotel from there down a well-lit Champs-Elysees and across the frenetic roundabout at Place de la Concorde.
What a great night in Paris - bonsoir!
