2nd Day in Paris

This morning we caught the Metro to Montmartre and visited the artists corner and Sacre-Coeur. The weather was a bit drizzly on and off but we managed to avoid most of it. We then tried to visit Musee du Louvre but had the wrong tickets, another story. The queue was a mile  long so the guy on the gate advised us to go get them elsewhere to save time well that was another 1hr queue so we flagged that and visited Musse d'Orsay which we had the correct tickets for. By the time we had finished there we had had enough of thousands of people. So we hopped back on our open air bus to rest our wary legs and breath some city air. We stood at the bottom of the Eiffel Tower and viewed it from there as the queue was 3hrs long and tours booked out. There was quite a presence of armed army personnel & police at all these tourist places and police in the streets on roller blades. By now our day was over and our batteries are running down. This place is making French Farm look like paradise rain hail or snow.
