I also got to go to the Louvre, when people tell you how big it is, they aren't exaggerating. It is huge, and amazing. Truthfully though I was more impressed by the building more then the art. Here is a view from inside the Louvre to the court yard.

I also enjoyed a the final leg of our walking tour which was down the Champs-Élysées to the Arc de Triomphe. The street is so alive and full of people, and energy. The history of Paris is apparent in all you see. I never appreciate history so much as when I am emerged in it.

As a whole I found the people very nice (contrary to popular belief), the architecture beautiful, but the weather a bit shit. It rained or was cloudy the entire time. All that aside walking through the streets of Paris makes you feel like you are in a movie. They say it's a romantic city, but I didn't see that either.
