Me and my friend Luke....
We arrived at the Louve in the morning, when it wasn't as busy. We visited the
Egyptian Collection, a permanent exhibition of Ancient Egyptian antiques. There were Hieroglifics written on pieces of parchment and papyrus, sculptures of Ancient Egyptian gods, clay pots, jewellery, mummy coffins and much more.
A real Mummy......
After that, we went to see the famous Mona Lisa painted by Leornardo Da Vinci. There were heaps of people crowding around to get a photo of it. It was squashy. We also looked at some Italian paintings and sculptures.

For lunch, we went to Jardin des Tuileries and had a picnic of baguettes that we filled with Salami, Ham, Hummus and cheese, which was brought by Luke's mum Sarah. They were delicious! After lunch, we went for a little walk to the playground in the gardens. Scott, Sarah, Luke, Ivy and Paul walked us to Place de la Concorde, where executions happened during the French revolution.

We said goodbye to them, then headed to the Arc du Triomphe, the magnificant arc at the end of the famous Avenue de Champs Élysées. The Arc de Triomphe took thirty years to build. It honours the people who fought and died in the French revolution, and underneath the arc is the tomb of the unknown soldier.
In the evening we went out for dinner with the Austin's at the Chez Omar, a North African restaurant. We had some yummy couscous with a choice of sausages, lamb or chicken.
