The Grand Arch + Christmas Village

The Grand Arch, actually not an arch, but more like a hollow cube, is so bad-A. The coolest part of it all I think is that you can see straight down Champ-Elysees to the Arc de Triomphe. Like a modern arch, vs. the new-cool-hot-studly arch. Both cool, but so different. The view from the top is so legit.







There is an amazing museum at the top, that is called the Information Museum. It has a timeline of computers. Pretty cool. Also, an amazing bookstore.
As our days were coming to an end, we spent a lot of time walking around, and visiting some of our favorite places. This time two summers ago, Chance, Zach, and I went to this monument and played their grand piano in the middle of the giant art exhibit. You'd think everyone would be pissed, but even the guards came over to hear a couple of songs. It is amazing how they can't SPEAK English but they know all the words to Snoop Dogg's Nuthin' But a G-Thang. Weird.

At the base of the Grand Arch, was a Christmas Village. Chestnuts roasting, the whole deal. I loved it, Zach wanted out quick. When he realized they might have popcorn, he was on the hunt.
