Day 6

Champs Elysees: Beginning day two on one of the most famous streets in the world - the Champs Elysees. Indulge yourself with a nice breakfast in one of the many cafes which line either side of the street and then do some shopping.
Arc de Triomphe: Make your way to the Arc de Triomphe which lies at the top of the Champs Elysees and for a breathtaking view of the city climb the 292 steps to the top where there is an excellent vantage point.
Lunch: Restaurant
Esplanade des Invalides: The huge golden dome is unmistakable and can easily be reached by Metro from the Champs Elysees - or if you're feeling energetic at all it is also within walking distance. Commissioned by Louis XIV as a home for wounded soldiers, it is one of the richest museums of its kind in the world and is home to an unrivalled selection of armour, weapons, uniforms and art. It is most famous, however, as the final resting place for one Napoleon Bonaparte.
Dinner: Restaurant
Esplanade des Invalides: $10
Arc de Triomphe: Free
Meals: $50
Total: $60
