Jake & Miles' European Excursion

Today we went on a tour around Paris on some hired bikes there were 9 other people doing it. The tour guide was from Buenos Aires, Argentina. We were riding red bikes with three back gears.

On the bike ride we went to a lot of places such as: The Military School, the Dome Church, the Arc de Triomphe, the Concord square, the Alexander the 3rd Bridge, the Louvre, and finally the Eiffel Tower.

My favourite place was the Louvre then the Eiffel Tower and then the Arc de Triomphe.

Here are 5 fun facts about the Dome:

1. The top of the Dome is covered with 12.65 kg of gold leaf.
2. The famous Napoleon Bonaparte is buried inside.
3. The church was built by King Louis XIV…
4. … but he only went there twice in his life.
5. He also only had two showers in his life!

After the ride

We set out to find lunch and in this case we found the best lunch I’ve had in a long time we had: coppa ham, haloumi, beef tartare, avocado toast, spaghetti, and fried chicken

We went to the Arc de Triomphe after lunch and we went all the way to the top and it had a great view we could see the Eiffel Tower, the Dome Church, and the Montparnasse Tower.
