Meeting and group transfer

Luckily our guide was Russian, so we managed to get to our bus without any troubles. As we got to Paris, she escorted each piece of our group to help them with checking in their hotels. We had visited lots of hotels around Opera de Paris area when our bus stopped again. Last part of the group left the bus and there were only two passengers still inside: my husband and I. Our hotel was the next stop, the last one on the route.
- Où est votre bagage? - the driver asked me unexpectedly after he had helped all other tourists with their massive suitcases.
We two had with us just one small back pack. So, there was nothing ours in the baggage space.
I wanted to say that to him. I strongly remembered then that I might say "Je n'ai pas de bagage"...
But there were two of us. That fact spoiled all the impression about me. I realized I should find the correct form first.
And while I was going in my mind over all those "j'ai, tu as, il a, nous avons (oh! it's correct! next, the negative form…)" the driver finally lost his patience and went to find someone a bit cleverer.
At last we got to our place and went inside for checking in. The only demand of ours to the hotel, when the agency had been choosing for us one, was, of course, the Internet. We asked the guide to know if we could use Wi-Fi from our room. But the receptionist answered for some reason that we must go downstairs every time we want to use it. So, we decided to sort it out later.

First walk

Start point: our hotel, 37, Rue de Maubeuge

Firstly, we were going to find where the Opera de Paris was – it was our regular meeting point for excursions. We found, however, not only the Opera, but the Louvre palace, the Tuileries garden and the Concord place. It was getting dark then, but we continued our stroll and walked through the Elysees fields and found the Triumph arch too.
When we approached Seine's quay after that, Dimka became a bit upset goodness knows why... But at the moment I saw fairy shimmering lights at the Eiffel's tower across the river. It was wonderful and, surely, we went there too – we crossed the river and approached right up to the tower.
On the way home Dimka was already too warn out to pay any attention to the Chaillot palace, the Big and Small palaces and the Vendome column, but I, nevertheless, stopped every five minutes to take a picture.
Finding the Opera again and missing right streets and turns a couple of times, we finally managed to return to our hotel by about 11 pm I suppose, in spite of uncomplimentary opinion of my husband's about me and my talents in orienteering.
