Paris - Walk along the Seine river

We spent one of our days walking down the Seine River and enjoying the views and sites. Melissa and I often take long walks and have the kids trained for theses long walks. We took a metro to near the Notre Dame cathedral and followed the Seine stopping and taking detours to see the different sites; as we meandered down the river. Our route went roughly like this; Notre Dame, Memorial de la Deportation (memorial to the Holocaust), by the Palais de Justice, across the Pont Neuf bridge, down to the national assembly, down the Invalides Jardin (Napoleon’s tomb), by the Ecole Militaire, down the champ de Mars, to the Eiffel tower, then back along the Seine to the Tuileries and the Louvre for a night time view of the Eiffel tower. I am guessing this is over 6 miles. Our favorite spot in Paris was the Tuileries; which is a garden area right next to the Louvre were we liked sit in the park and relax, we found ourselves ending up there a lot (there is a nice view of the Louvre and the Eiffel tower) at night and in the afternoons.

Here are some pictures from our walk along the Seine River:
