We landed in Paris around 8:30 am and headed for our apartment.  We rented a furnished apartment for the week on Rue Saint Honore (does anyone know how to type letters with accents).  After getting all the info from the landlord, we were all exhausted and took a 4 hour nap.  Then we walked to the nearest Monoprix, got some snacks and drinks for the week, as well as breakfast food.  Got back, changed and went out to eat at Oscar Restaurant on Rue des Pyramides at the end of the Saint Honore pathway.  Fantastic dinner there!  We went for a little walk after dinner, the sun was setting as we walked toward the Jardin des Tuileries which was behind our apartment building.  When we got to the Jardin it was closed for the evening but we could see the Eiffel Tower and it was lit up with fantastic glittering lights which were impossible to get a photo of!
