I am going to write and post in small batches because I lost the T R that I had previously written and was too tired to try again.
Toot Bus
On Saturday, I slept well and was able to get the Toot Bus early.
I loved the Toot Bus. It may not be for everyone but it worked well for me. It is probably best for those new to Paris, those with mobility issues and families with young children
I bought my ticket on the bus and it cost me 40 euros which I felt was worth it. It would cost less if you bought it online.
I did the entire route twice but I got off at the Orsay the second time.
I loved that we got so close to the Eiffel Tower and saw her from many directions.
We also had a picture stop at the Iron Lady
There were a few times when we got an announcement that a picture stop was coming and to get our cameras ready
Was not terribly impressed with the Champs d Elysees Many cities have exclusive shopping districts and the Champs was similar to others that I have seen.
If I misspell anything, it is because I can not look anything up on my iPad while typing. And I almost never use data on my phones Bear with me.
During my second go around, I got off at the Orsay and had no trouble getting in That will be another paragraph.
I would get back on the Toot Bus after my visit to the Orsay for the purpose of getting back to my hotel. It was now mid afternoon . The Toot Bus was now very crowded and we hit terrible traffic. It took a very long time to get back to my stop.
I could have gotten off other places but after my visit to the Orsay, I was ready to go back to my hotel. It had been a full day.
Saturday was a very good day
