Part 2 of Ethan's Paris story

(All pictures token by Ethan)Hello again its me Ethan doing my second post about Paris, France. Last time I left off talking about the Eiffel Tower and it was Thursday evening. In this post I'll talk about Thursday night. Thursday night after we had left the Eiffel Tower we went to a place called the Arc De Triumph. The Arc De Triumph is a monument built by king Napoleon the first to show how powerful he was. If you are walking to the Arc De Triumph you have to go underground into a tunnel because the Arc De Triumph is right in the center of this huge free for all road. Cars are driving everywhere they cut right in front of another cars it was crazy! So you had to go underground. We went to the Arc De Triumph when it was night time so it was cool seeing all the car lights and the Arc De Triumph lit up. You could walk up under the Arc De Triumph and all under it were carvings and words. When my family and me were looking at the words under it we saw the name of the city that we live in in Germany (which is Dusseldorf). As we were walking back from the Arc De Triumph to find a place to eat dinner at we saw this one window display that was unique and creative but a little weird at the same time. We ended up eating at a place that was on the Champs Elysees street which is a very famous street. As we drove back to our hotel it was amazing seeing Paris at night for example seeing all the street lights, the Arc De Triumph, and of course the Eiffel Tower glowing. So as they say in french au revoir (which in English is bye-bye).




This is a memorial to men who have died in war. (It was under the Arc De Triumph ).

These were some pictures I took showing some of the steets by the Arc De Triumph
These are pictures of cool buildings in the streets of Paris.
