Day 36 (Paris I)

Arrived in Paris on the Thalys train.  We found our hotel, lugged our luggage painstakingly there through the subways, which was more work than we expected.

 Walked around the garden by the hotel in the heat.  Saw a pretty grotto and lakes, and had to eat ice cream to cool down from the heat.

We spent the rest of the evening happily at the Eifel Tower, eating dinner at a restaurant nearby and staying out to watch the tower twinkle.  We even took a horse and carriage ride around the tower for good night views.
