3rd day in Paris

Today we went to the "Manhattan" area of Paris, La Défense. The Grande Arche is so big that Notre Dame could fit under it. There was a good view of the Arc de Triomphe and other cool modern buildings in the Défense district. We went to Ile de la Cité for lunch- sandwiches which we ate in the Hôtel Dieu courtyard. We went to the Conciergerie where Marie Antoinette was held (among over 2,000 others) before beheaded. We sat in a park for a while... then sat in another park for a while. We went to the Franprix grocery store and bought some (more) Haribo, then came back to the hotel to check e-mail. It was a relaxing day compared to all the walking we did yesterday! Tomorrow we plan to go to the Musée d'Orsay (since we didn't go as planned on Sunday).
