Place de la Concorde, Montmartre, the Arc de Triomphe and other delightful surprises.
and city buses....the best (and least expensive) way to see the sights!
Please note: There is a lot of walking on our flea market trips. Walking and stairs (Metro stations have lots of stairs)! This is NOT the kind of trip where you spend most of your time on a huge bus, being driven from monument to monument in 15 minute increments. That's so NOT Plucky!
