Lunch and Snack get their first good look at the Eiffel Tower from Champ de Mars. It was completed in 1889 and stands 1,063 feet tall. |
 |
This is what the Tower looks like from the first level, straight up. It's really, really big! |
 |
The view from the top! The cows admire the River Seine. |
 |
That's a view of the Trocadéro with modern downtown Paris on the skyline. |
 |
Time for ice cream cones on the way to the Louvre. Here they are at Jardin des Tuileries, a big public park at the end of Champs-Élysées. |
 |
Lunch and Snack take a break next to a fountain on Avenue de l'Opéra, next to the Louvre. |
 |
Here they are looking at the famous modern glass pyramid at Musée du Louvre. |
 |
The cows stop in front of a monument to Louis XIV on a spirited horse, in the front courtyard at the Louvre. |
 |
Nancy and Keith take self-portraits at a funny round mirror in the Egyptian wing of the Louvre. |
 |
"Lunch?... Does this mirror make me look fat?" |
 |
"Marble statues everywhere, but where's the bovine wing?" |
 |
Lunch and Snack visit the famous Notre Dame de Paris, one of the finest examples of French Gothic architecture. The corner stone of the cathedral was laid in 1163 on the Île de la Cité. |
 |
The cows admire one of the renowned stained glass windows at Notre Dame. |
 |
Lunch and Snack wonder how to get across eight lanes of traffic that circle the Arc de Triomphe at the crossroads of 12 big avenues in Paris... until they discover an underground tunnel that gets them there safely. |
 |
The cows take one more look at the Eiffel Tower on their last night in Paris. |
