After a full day on Monday, including an early start from jet lag, we all enjoyed a good sleep in this morning. This was good timing, as we were awaiting Matt’s arrival between 10 and 11AM. He made it to the apartment just fine from CDG and was able to wake up the girls himself!
We spent much of the day enjoying classic Paris walks, including Ile des Cite, walking across the Seine to a nice area of the left bank and then over to the Eiffel tower. The highest point of observation from the tower was closed (we think due to high winds), so we elected to enjoy views of the tower from the Champ du Mars park adjoining the tower (we will definitely come back).

The girls also enjoyed this pony ride in the park.
From the park we walked through the Rue Cler neighborhood and were delighted with the gelato ice cream treats we found shaped like flowers.
We ended the day by showing Matt the playground near the apartment that the girls enjoy, and then having pizza at an outdoor café.
