The rest of our first day went by quite quickly I'm proud to say!  We did NOT succumb to having missed almost a whole nighttime of sleep!! We got our"trip gear" on and left our apartment to canvass the neighborhood and discover what makes this arrondissement tick!  Ended up walking quite a lot!  

Our walking itinerary included the neighborhood and some of its shops, a visit with a delightful statue of Ben Franklin, a stroll through the Trocadero Gardens, across the boulevard and around the Eiffel Tower, the discovery of a small, hidden and gated garden next to the Tower, a tour around the Place Trocadero and down some of its side streets, a stop at a grocer for supplies and a "sit down" at an outside table at a cafe for a glass of wine!  Then back to the apartment where we met our charming French landlady who showed us how to work the heat and the tv and also declined to take our 200E security deposit--"why wait until Monday to refund?"  Of course, she said this in French!  MOST of which I understood!!

Dinner was "at home!"  Baguette sandwiches with tomatoes, cheese and tabouli salad. Delish!! And we were "totally done in!"  We were in bed and asleep by 9!
