Day 7: Last day in Paris

Up bright & early for our Eiffel Tower appointment. As it's Saturday,  there was hardly any traffic. Typically, on Saturdays in Paris there are protests, the "yellow jackets/vests," who have been protesting for a few years. They rarely go where the tourists are so as long as they don't shut down the Metro, we're good!
Our guide met us at the Tower and took us up to the 2nd floor, where she pointed out the main sites. Then, she directed us to the elevator to the summit....surprise... we get to the tippy-top!!! As we were only planning for the 2nd floor, we were all in shock!! What great views from the top!
Next up, we went to Fragonard,  the perfumery,  where we learned about their products,  history, etc....
Had a lunch stop in the Louvre and then off the see the art!  Such impressive pieces... and some interesting ones! So many - its overwhelming!
Dinner was our last stop of the night and then a bus back to the hotel. Throw in some pool time before getting packed up. We're heading to Switzerland tomorrow!!!
