First was a guided tour around the city, part by bus and part by foot. We stopped at the Notre-Dame Cathedral, Arc de Triomphe, drove down the Avenue des Champs-Elysees, and had lunch in the artists villiage known as Montmartre. It's the highest point in Paris, other than the Eiffel Tower of course.
After lunch we went to the Chateau de Versailles, which was commissioned by the Sun King, Louis XIV. It was the seat of the royal court from 1682 to 1789, when the French Revolution put an end to the monarchy.
